Nothing wrong with being black, but its a big mistake if I claim you got a promotion only because you are black--and you are not.

Webb is the host of a Sirius radio show.  He was on the phone to Areva martin, a black female CNN host.

Your link just reports and offers a recording of their exchange. She was on tv when she did this.
You could see Martin at first, but not Webb, as they conversed by telephone.

Quote:The segment aired Tuesday during a SiriusXM show hosted by David Webb, who is also host FOX Nation’s Reality Check. His guest during the segment was Areva Martin, a civil rights attorney and CNN legal analyst.

Then why did she apologize if it was not meant to degrade? Would she have apologized if he were white and listed the same credentials?

Would she have been wrong of accusing him of benefiting from White Privilege if he were white; after he listed his credentials?
