CNN analyst tells black SiriusXM radio host David Webb to check his 'white privilege'
Washington Times ^ | January 15, 2019 | Douglas Ernst

Sirius XM radio host David Webb, who happens to be black, had an awkward moment on his show this week when a CNN analyst began lecturing him on his alleged “white privilege.”

[snip]

“David, by virtue of being a white male you have white privilege,” the guest replied.

“Areva, I hate to break it to you, but you should’ve been better prepped. I’m black,” the Fox News contributor deadpanned. “You went immediately with an assumption. You’re talking to a black man who started out in rock radio in Boston, who crossed the paths into hip-hop rebuilding one of the greatest black stations in America.”

Actually, he did discuss judging someone before you even know them.

Williams told the man that he was planning to go in the house and do some work on his doctoral dissertation, but if he really needed his lawn cut, he might be able to do it.

hahahaha. love Dr. Williams. Great response.

“Like Biden telling the man in a wheelchair to stand up and take a bow.”

And what’s wrong with that? People in wheelchairs are just like everyone else, right? Isn’t that what the leftards keep telling us?

Yeah, I should feel guilty for something I had no control over. There’s no such thing as poor white people. There’s never been white slaves right? /s

...besides, even if true, I really don’t care. If somebody wants to whine that they’re held back by some invisible anti-black force that can’t be defined, can’t be resolved...then you’re just a self-fulfilling prophecy. You cause your own problem...having a bad attitude toward white people is only going to result in you putting yourself at a disadvantage. Don’t blame me.

Reminds me when Karl Malone was the star player of the Utah Jazz, on tv selling Rogaine too. He was standing in front of the Salt Lake City airport waiting for his ride when an elderly white woman approached him and asked if he could take her bags inside.

He thought for a moment and did so, refusing to be tipped.

Who came up with the idea of white privilege?

Saw a NYT commenter the other day who was apologizing all over the place because she was born with white privilege. To me this is so strange!

All I know is I’ve worked all my life...while SOME PEOPLE get for free what I’ve worked for. Who has the privilege? HMMM?

Combine cnn idiocy with the Gillette ad.
Yes, the left really is that stupid.
Yet they are never called on it because the media covers for it and each other.

He should have told Areva Martin, “Little lady, you should do your homework before you get schooled.”

But I guess you have to cut those 2fer affirmative action hires some slack.

He basically did. Minus the "little lady."

Meanwhile CNN is okay with Shawn King pretending to be black.

Also about Walter Williams, he was on a DC talk show and the caller reamed him for being too cruel to blacks and if only he knew what is was like being black... To which WEW informed him that he was black.

It was on my friend Brian Wilson’s show.

Both men are long time friends of mine.

The lefty must have been losing the debate. Since they are the smartest creatures in the universe, losing a debate could only have been done with magic or privilege.
