Webb argued that qualifications should be the deciding factor. “I never considered my color the issue. I considered my qualifications the issue.”
Martin responded: “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 interjected: “How do I have the privilege of white privilege?”
Martin answered: “David, by virtue of being a white male, you have white privilege.”
Webb 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. “My people gave me wrong information.”
I wonder what information was given to her ... did it specifically say he was a white guy? That just brings forth more questions about this "news" organization and their agenda. Did they really prep for an interview - and the race of the interviewee was part of the show prep? Who does that? ... or is she just lying to cover up that she assumed he was white?
CNN will instead now be airing reruns of Yo! MTV Raps in a loop 24/7.
