In a debate on his show about what makes some people qualified for certain jobs over others, Webb said as a general rule when applying for jobs he cares more about his work-related expertise and experience, not skin color.

“That’s a whole ‘nother 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 guest Martin.

Confused, Webb asked, “How do I have the privilege of white privilege?”

“David… by virtue of being a white male you have white privilege,” Martin began, when Webb interjected:

“Areva, I hate to break it to you, but you should’ve been better prepped. I’m black.”

Lolz the pin drop silence when he tells her he's black.

And then she blames it on "her staff" for not prepping her. And tries to apologize, and he blasts her for making his point.

Poor Martin - since he was not speaking like Al Sharption, Jesse Jackson, or Maxiine Waters, he just couldn't be black. True racism on display there. And he got no up-comma in his name.

I'm guessing that Martin is white -

Her people gave her the wrong information. You expect her to do her own research? We all know it’s never their fault, it’s always someone else’s.

Would've been awesome if she said, "well, you don't sound black"

The funny thing is she doesn't "sound black"either.

It's like listening to two white people converse.

CNN has their predetermined talking points and false narratives to push no matter what, truth and facts be damned
