On Tuesday morning, CNN legal analyst Areva Martin, appearing as a guest on a show hosted by David Webb, who is a host n Fox Nation and also hosts a show on Sirius XM radio, spoke too soon when she accused him of “white privilege,” prompting Webb to disabuse her of that notion with one simple response.
Webb stated, “Areva, I hate to break it to you, but you should’ve been better prepped. I’m black.”
The exchange came during a debate revolving around the qualifications required for being hired, as Mediate reports, noting, “Webb said as a general rule when applying for jobs he cares more about his work-related expertise and experience, not skin color.”
The exchange began with Webb asking, “Shouldn’t their requirement, their primary requirement, regardless of ethnicity or regardless of net worth, be that they are capable of covering politics? For instance, if you’re going to cover political campaigns, sports may not be the most qualified background. And that brings to the point if people want to get into these fields, regardless of color, 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.”

Well, duh!
Liberal whining is stuck on the "white privilege" groove. Somebody needs to periodically bump the turntable or get them to change the record.
And by that night, he was on TV basically apologizing for calling her out on it. That was once he realized Republicans were pouncing on the issue. He was making excuses for her gaff, and explained that she was, as he said in her interview, poorly prepped by her handlers. He almost excused her altogether. Talk about "sticking together." Never mind that it's that constant drumbeat of racism charges by democrats, when there is none.
The next time I can't find a parking space for regular people I will park in the parking lots designated for "white privileged" people. They must exist considering all the fuss I keep reading about.
