CNN legal analyst Areva Martin had a race-baiting fail after accusing SiriusXM radio host and Fox News contributor David Webb of “white privilege” during a debate on his Monday morning radio show
While discussing a recent controversy stoked by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) over CBS failing to hire any black journalists to cover the 2020 election, Webb asked Martin what she thought.
Martin said she agreed with Ocasio-Cortez that it was unacceptable for media outlets to claim that there aren’t enough journalists of color available, to which Webb responded that he had “31 years” of experience in the media, adding “I’ve seen the coverage, and I’ve also seen it change, generationally … I have not seen the lack of [diversity], I’ve seen, actually growth in it”
Webb then asked Martin if Black Entertainment Television (BET) should be forced to hire a white or Hispanic reporter, which Martin said would be up to BET.
Arguing that that qualifications should be the deciding factor over race, Webb said “I never considered my color the issue. I considered my qualifications the issue,” to which Martin replied:
“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…”
Webb cut in: “How do I have the privilege of white privilege?”
To which Martin shot back: “David, by virtue of being a white male, you have white privilege.”
Webb then replied: “Areva, I hate to break it to you, but you should have been better prepped. I’m black … See, you went to white privilege. This is the falsehood in this. 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, and went on to work for Fox News, where I’m told apparently blacks aren’t supposed to work, but yet you come with this assumption and you go to white privilege. That’s actually insulting!”
Martin apologized, claiming “My people gave me wrong information.”

I guess they never heard of Affirmative Action….
not a new tactic, but certainly an effective one, if it can be broadcast beyond the MSM veil:
-Reveal the blatant hypocrisy, every time you find it, loud and clear.
Time. And. Time. Again.
Everywhere the Left bitches and whines, claiming the moral high ground.
btw, neocons and rino’s shouldn’t get a pass, either, when they do the same.
So he talked soberly, thoughtfully with good diction and so she thought him to be white. Hilarious.
Now, had he said, “Lookit here ho, you be with yo hed up yowass, bitch…..”
There is an old news axiom that says,
When dog bites man, that’s not news.
When man bites dog, that’s news.
When one of the talking heads on CNN shows herself to be a complete moroon, that’s not news…
Patriot Humor had one recently:
“I don’t watch CNN for the same reason I don’t drink from the toilet”
When all you are holding are race cards, you have nothing else to play.
David Webb does a very good job on XM Radio Patriot channel. (125). Ironically enough, the Patriot Channel hosts are more diverse than the clones in CNN.
Fuck that honky!
I wonder if my White Privilege got in the way when South Carolina Electric and Gas told me I didn’t get the job because they needed to hire a black guy ?
She went straight to the “white privilege” card when asked about BET also having to employ non-black staff.
Always the race thing. Not facts, not arguments, not other criteria… just race.
Yup. “My people gave me the wrong information” my ass. It was EASIER to pull the race card.
Absolutely. Had David Webb been white, she would’ve continued about “white privilege.” She threw her people under the bus to save face. A liar and she knows it as well.
Her “people” are as stupid as she is.
the nice thing about the left is they are so dumb that they think they are right all the time
Blaming it on “her people” is sad an pathetic.
She should have said ” I’m sorry, I guess I really am a SJW PC marxist scum bag,I will have to change, as the narrative I have been sold, and am paid to push, is really just a method of dividing people”
…”my people gave me wrong information”…..sounds like plantation ownership rhetoric to me…..
