It was a rough day for author and CNN legal analyst Areva Martin on Tuesday. Martin accused Sirius XM radio and Fox Nation host David Webb of “white privilege” during a segment on a radio program before he broke the news.
“Areva, I hate to break it to you, but you should’ve been better prepped. I’m black,” Webb said.
The embarrassing moment occurred during a discussion about experience being more important than race when determining whether or not someone is qualified for a particular job.
“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,” Webb said.
“That’s a whole, another long conversation about white privilege, the things that you have the privilege of doing, that people of color don’t have the privilege of,” said Martin – who also hosts CBS’ “Face the Truth.” A dumbfounded Webb asked, “How do I have the privilege of white privilege?” Martin responded, “David, by virtue of being a white male you have white privilege.”
The Fox Nation host then explained that he was actually black. “I stand corrected,” Martin said. Webb scolded Martin for running with an “assumption" and she then blamed her team for providing inaccurate information.
“That’s actually insulting,” Webb said.
“It is and I apologize,” Martin replied. “I was given wrong information.”

“White privilege” is being used the same way white racists used to reach for the word “nigger”. It’s time the people who use the phrase were fired and made unemployable.
And she works for CNN. Go figure.
What a moron.
Reminds me of Rosanne Barr and VJ
Wait til JimRob bans you for using the N word.
But white privilege is politically correct.
The guy has gravel in his throat.
Jackie Gleason as Sheriff Buford T. Justice in Smokey and the Bandit:
“For some reason or another you sounded a little taller on the radio”
I think she resembles Valerie Jarrett, as well.
These people are stupid.
I dream that some day black people are allowed to have white privilege
You got that right. “White privilege” is just a term the democrats coined to foment racial strife. Nice people.
btt
White privilege is a term used to justify acting prejudicially and unfairly toward whites.
I dream that some day black people are allowed to have white privilege
= = =
Next Jan 21 is MLK day.
Maybe then???
Agreed DJ....but that’s probably what she was thinking.
David Webb is great. He’s my favorite host on Sirius radio.
““It is and I apologize,” Martin replied. “I was given wrong information.”
So in other words, she is a shallow racist.
She throws out the white privilege card, not even taking the time or courtesy to know him.
Then she retracts her slur against him based SOLELY on the mans (updated to her) skin color.
That is text book racism.
The race of the guest is always asked/demanded by her???
