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.

Where did she get her law degree, at the Anti-White University School of Law and Stupidity?

I wonder how long it is going to take to get her foot out of her mouth and ass?

What a racist pig. Mr. Webb has class. She has hate.

CNN analyst? Well, “analyze this”!!!

Ben Shappiro summed up Trump’s power beautifully by using that comparison as a sort of compliment.

He said, and I paraphrase, that Trump is a hammer in search of nails, and when he actually hits a nail, it is sweet indeed.

Oh man, I loved Pia Zadora back in the 80’s. She was the hottest B movie actress there was. This young testosterone filled Marine and friends watched her at the base movie theater in The Lonely Lady where she gets on the award stage and tells the audience she F’d her way to the top. A great B movie, perhaps a C movie if there is such a thing.
