The below image of two people is taken from this link:
The person on the left is Sirius XM radio host David Webb.
The person on the right is CNN Legal Analyst Areva Martin.
Here’s a transcript from a recent conversation between the two of them:
David Webb: “Shouldn’t their requirement, their primary requirement, regardless of ethnicity, regardless of network, be that they are capable of covering politics? For instance, if you’re going to cover political campaigns, sports may not be the most qualified background. And that brings to the point of if people want to get into these fields regardless of color, I’ve chosen to cross different parts of the media world, done the work so that I’m qualified to be in each one. I never considered my color the issue. I considered my qualifications the issue.”
Areva Martin: “Well David, you know that’s a whole other long conversation about white privilege and things that you have the privilege of doing that people of color don’t have the privilege of.”
David Webb: “How do I have the privilege of white privilege?”
Areva Martin: “David, by virtue of being a white male, you have white privilege, which is a whole long conversation I don’t have time to get into.”
I’d be curious to hear Martin’s explanation for why she thinks it’s not possible for a black person to achieve the things that Webb has achieved.
Martin has just unintentionally presented us with what is – I think – the best argument against the concept of “white privilege” that I have ever heard.

Liberals simply can not, can not, relate to Americans.
Just can’t make this sheist up!
What about Barry O.?
“which is a whole long conversation I don’t have time to get into.”
The word “conversation” is the new buzzword used by the
VERY annoying women on NPR.
We need to have conversations on EVERYTHING these days.

Blackness - hey Areva, who wore it better?
This white privilege thing is one of the most divisively stupid things the left has ever come up with. It can only backfire on them because its premise is beyond ridiculous.
Agree, but first Avera Martin needs to converse with reality.
Yeah. And a whole bunch of us exercise our “white privilege” every single day: We get up, we go to work, pay a huge pant-load of taxes so that those that don’t have “white privilege” can sit around on their lazy, fat azzes all day complaining about it. Many of us are sick of it...big time.
C’mon FReepers, do any of us really care about this? Tempest in a teapot.
Wish you were correct, but it’s kinda working.
Shudda been posted in the “sheer idiocy” forum.
PEOPLE!
It was obvious that she was referring to his “talking white” privilege. Talking white unfairly confers advantages over those that speak in other dialects.
Pelosi used the word “conversation” in referring to “border security” if only Trump would end the shutdown, she’d agree to a “conversation”
You mean ghetto speak or ebonics right lol
A most over-used,and meaningless,word.
It annoys me as much as the phrase, “going forward”.

He was MANSPLAINING!!!!
#TheHorror
He is half white, was raised exclusively by whites, went to a predominantly white upper class prep school and had an upper middle class lifestyle in Hawaii (which is more privilege than I experienced, and I’m 100% white.) The only ethnic upbringing in his personal history is when he moved with his mother and sister to Indonesia and was raised muslim early in his life. He never experienced any black culture in his upbringing.
I guess if he doesn’t speak Ebonics he must be white.
