A civil rights attorney was embarrassed live on air Tuesday when she was scolded by a radio host she said possessed white privilege.
Areva Martin, who describes herself as an 'advocate, commentator, author, TV host and producer' was speaking on David Webb's Sirius XM radio program about experience being more important than race when it comes to landing a job role.
However the co-host of Face the Truth on CBS and CNN Legal Analyst seemingly made the mistake of assuming the presenter's race when he claimed he had never regarded his race as a barrier when obtaining work.




Areva Martin told David Webb on his Sirius XM radio program Tuesday that he has 'white privilege'. Martin said she was given the wrong information and apologized to Webb
'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 on his Patriot show.
It led Martin to respond with a statement that suggested she believed Webb was Caucasian.
'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,' she replied.
It emerged she had the wrong idea when Webb probed further into her thinking.
'How do I have the privilege of white privilege?' he questioned her. To which she hit back. 'David, by virtue of being a white male you have white privilege.'
However Martin was soon corrected when the host – whose radio show also appears on TV via Fox Nation – realized she had no idea he was African American.
'You see, you went to white privilege; this is the falsehood in this,' Webb hit back. 'You went immediately with an assumption. Your people, obviously, or you didn't look.
'Areva, I hate to break it to you, but you should've been better prepped. I'm black.'
Webb went on to explain his accolades as an African American male as he appeared to quash the notion of white privilege in terms of climbing the career ladder.
He used his own success at Fox to suggest race wasn't a factor, at least for him.


Webb later mocked the incident on his Twitter page, he wrote: 'Just two guys showing their #WhitePrivelege'


Posting images of himself alongside white men, he even compared himself to Matt Damon
'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 at 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,' Webb continued. 'That's actually insulting.'
Webb's success as a contributor to various publications including the Hill and Breitbart News, comes with his support for President Donald Trump who he has claimed has a hard time proving the good work he's done.
Two years ago he spoke to Fox News about how the media has served as a distraction.
After the embarrassing blunder on Tuesday Martin tried to shift the blame on researchers but ultimately said sorry for the assumption.
'It is and I apologize,' Martin agreed about her own misunderstanding. 'I was given wrong information.'
While Martin's reps declined to comment to various publications after the mishap, Webb later mocked the incident on his Twitter page.
Posting images of himself alongside white men, he wrote: 'Just two guys showing their #WhitePrivelege.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
