A CNN analyst called out a Fox News contributor for his white privilege. He’s black.

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.

Haha Still not tired of winning!!! Story of the day.

Then the dishonorable gasbag - in typical leftist fashion, blamed her (probably white) staffers for “self identification assuming “ instead of finding her balls and publicly apologizing.

Will her employer now fire her?

No, he doesn’t sound ghetto. And he’s a shade darker than Martin.

David Webb has a SiriusXM show, in the morning.

Everybody loves Pia Zadora and some dancers. This could be the start of something big. He looks like Phil Donahue!

I'm surprised that she didn't accuse David Webb of having white privilege on the inside.

When libs start losing is when they really start fighting dirty.

Everything that isn’t about race for commies is about gender; if that doesn’t work it is about socio=economic class, and if that doesn’t work it is about sexual preference (and on and on until something sticks).

Normals just continue going about their business trying to ignore the incessant whining of the otherized unassimilated dreck...

The difference between an “analyst” and “analist.”

Where does CNN get these clowns? And why?

This is all they got?

The whole thing is nucking fonsense anyway. What if he WAS white? This piece just reinforces the notion in a way.

He was supposed to just agree with that BS? Anybody sez that shit to me isn’t going to like it.

Besides the fact that she's a racist, she's a sexist, and stupid, and a fake journalist. Thanks grundle.
