Whoops!

quote:

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.

Is there audio on this? I like to hear people when their argument backfires.

Keep this here. The other thread was moved to the political board for whatever reason. This thread belongs on the OT as well

I just tagged a high school friend on FB who made a long post last week about white privilege. She is a white female who felt the need to educate me. Well I wasn't having her crap and her SJW friends stepped in and tried to change my mind. I seriously doubt she will make any response to the article. It really is pathetic.

I love it when my Portland friends educate me on black folk.

You know, the same people who live in a white world and don't have any black friends and have met a few.

Interesting you of all people ask.

For a majority of people that believe in white privilege such as yourself, they also believe that adjustments should be made in hiring practices to account for this.


I think you just believe in the first statement though

Portland friends


I had a friend from Portland come down here for a visit. He went to NOLA for the day while I was at work. He was forced into paying a guy 40 bucks to have his suede shoes ruined by a "shoe shine" guy using hotel shampoo, lost another 20 bucks to a guy who strong armed him over a joke, and was mugged in the lower 9th ward walking around trying to look at Katrina damage. I ended up having to meet him in LaPlace to fill up his car to get back to Baton Rouge. He Had a different perspective on things after that trip
