Reporter from CNN thinks the guy on the phone is white and tells him his views come from "white privilege". The guy on the phone is actually black and proceeds to humiliate the CNN reporter. Love it. These people are unbelievable hypocrites. They talk about racism while being racist themselves in their very assumptions..

Arguing that qualifications should be the deciding factor over race, Webb said "I never considered my color the issue. I considered my qualifications the issue," to which Martin replied:
"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 cut in: "How do I have the privilege of white privilege?"
To which Martin shot back: "David, by virtue of being a white male, you have white privilege."
Webb then 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, claiming "My people gave me wrong information."
David Webb is my new hero.
