CNN legal analyst Areva Martin thought she was talking to a white man Tuesday while appearing as a guest on David Webb’s SiriusXM radio show.
When Webb, a frequent Fox News contributor and host on Fox Nation, said he considered his qualifications more important than his skin color when applying to jobs in journalism, Martin accused him of exercising white privilege.
But there’s a problem with that sentiment, as Webb quickly pointed out:
“Areva, I hate to break it to you, but you should’ve been better prepped,” he responded. “I’m black.”
The exchange was posted to Twitter by Webb on Tuesday afternoon. He’s heard in the interview saying, “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.”
Martin responds: “Well, David, that’s a whole other long conversation about white privilege, the things that you have the privilege of doing, that people of color don’t have the privilege of.”
“How do I have the privilege of white privilege?" Webb asks.
“David, by virtue of being a white male you have white privilege. This whole long conversation, I don’t have time to get into — ”
Webb then interrupts her to let her know he’s a black man, causing Martin to take a pause.

She should have wrapped that segment up by saying, "Funny, you don't sound black."
... and he must not have sounded black.
He was a Freeper, too.
Up to par for CNN ... they only hire ignorant but PC progressives.
Maybe if they goof up enough they’ll quit pointing their fingers at imaginary monsters.
With Commies, EVERYTHING is about race..she was raised to believe that all white people are evil..and since David Webb is a Conservative, even though he’s black he still is evil since he votes Republican
To some people with a hammer...
... everything’s a nail.
White privilege? Tell it to Oprah, Denzel Washington, Herman Cain, Dr. Ben Carson, and thousands of Blacks who have worked hard and achieved.
She thought he was White, because he doesn’t speak like ghetto trash..
Areva Martin: Mother, author, attorney, analyst, racist dumbass
This one is a special kind of stupid.
Then she should have changed tactics and called him an Uncle Tom.
Sheriff Buford Justice “You sounded ta11er on the radio”
Oh my....dumbsh!t. I wonder if they use the term black privilege in countries like Kenya? /s
