CNN Analyst Tells David Webb That He Benefits from White Privilege

This is a banana.

CNN analyst Areva Martin incorrectly assumed Fox News contributor and Sirius XM radio host David Webb is white and suggested he has benefited from "white privilege" during a debate on his radio show.

Martin and Webb were debating what qualifies people for certain jobs, and Webb said expertise and experience were more important than race, in his view, Mediate reports.

"Shouldn't their requirement, their primary requirement, regardless of ethnicity, regardless of network, be that they are capable of covering politics?" Webb said. "For instance, if you're going to cover political campaigns, sports may not be the most qualified background. And that brings to the point of if people want to get into these fields regardless of color, 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."

"Well David, you know that's a whole 'nother long conversation about white privilege and things that you have the privilege of doing that people of color don't have the privilege of," Martin responded.

"How do I have the privilege of white privilege?" Webb asked.

"David, by virtue of being a white male, you have white privilege, which is a whole long conversation I don't have time to get into," Martin answered.

"Areva, I hate to break it to you, but you should have been better prepped, I'm black," Webb said.

Jesus God Almighty, every single idiot on CNN is an incompetent hired only for either tokenism or weird ideology.

3 Funny she started trying to blame "the information she was given" instead of, you know, knowing what the hell she was talking about.

I like how Webb dismissed that lame excuse by saying she immediately went there assuming a certain set of facts.

Those of you who know Justice Ginsburg well know that she is a great admirer of Harry Houdini and escape artistry.

She is currently at home preparing to perform Houdini's famous water torture cell escape for a small group of family and friends.

She will be wrapped in chains and padlocks, hoisted by her feet high above the spectators and lowered head down into a glass tank filled with 100 gallons of water.

Before her escape, she intends to remain underwater for longer than the 24 hours by Criss Angel in his Times Square performance of the trick.

She said she plans to give thought during her time submerged underwater to cases before the Court and will communicate to me her decisions upon her successful escape.

46 The term "White Privilege" was invited by Peggy McIntosh, a wealthy white dingbat who confused the privileges she enjoyed from having lots of family money and social connections with just being white.

Peggy McIntosh was born Elisabeth Vance Means in 1934. She grew up in Summit, New Jersey where the median income is quadruple the American national average. McIntosh's father was Winthrop J. Means, the head of Bell Laboratories electronic switching department during the late 1950s.

Elizabeth Vance Means then attended Radcliffe, a renowned finishing school for the daughters of America's patrician elites, and continued her private education at the University of London , before completing her English Doctorate at Harvard. Her engagement to Dr. Kenneth McIntosh was announced in the New York Times social register on the same page as the wedding of Chicago's Mayor Daley. McIntosh's father, Dr. Rustin McIntosh, was Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics at Columbia University. His mother was President Emeritus of Barnard College, an institution in the opulent Morningside Heights district of Manhattan, famous since 1889 for providing the daughters of the wealthiest Americans with liberal arts degrees.

58 Not sure if people have caught on to this yet, but the terminology being bandied about in "intellectual" circles is "standpoint epistemology."

It's the variety of relativism that attempts to state that the understanding of certain truths are only possible if you have personal experiences from a certain background, and therefore your opinions on the topic don't matter if you don't qualify. Men can't understand the issue of abortion because they can't be pregnant. White people can't understand police brutality because it doesn't happen to them. Straight and cis people don't understand gays/transgender people, so we aren't qualified to make statements about their lifestyle. When Corey Booker talked to Dr. Ford in the Kav hearings, he thanked her for sharing "her truth" not "the truth."

Basically, it's a formalization that the ad hominem fallacy isn't really a fallacy at all, and is in fact a valid debate tactic.

104 Hello Horde.

Yes, this is me in the prayer chain.

I am writing to ask for your help. To be clear, I have asked for and received help already. I wanted all to know that. Circumstances are such that I find myself needing ask another time.

-Calm Mentor is going through a very difficult time right now. He is at his last bit of money. Support is appreciated. Please pray that he gets a job.

https://www.gofundme.com/help-with-time-to-find-employment

The campaign tells the story, but this is my situation:

I am partially handicapped, with limited mobility and only 25% use of my strong right arm. Up until June, I was still able to drive for Uber, and did so for over a year. I was deactivated as a driver at that time.

My only family is a brother who I was helping financially while working. My "friends", I found, consisted of those from a marriage of 17 years which ended three years ago. I have been turned down for welfare benefits because, as reported, I made too much money this last year to qualify. I applied for SSDI, and am awaiting their first denial, as I'm told this is their standard practice.

While working, I had built up a small reserve of money, one that was used up recently to pay an oral surgeon to treat a badly abscessed tooth.

I have been everywhere in applying for jobs, and in the past 6 months have only gotten 3 days of good freelance work, and 5 days of temp work. I will find something, as failure is not an option. In the meantime, I am looking at homelessness very soon. This is the reason for my request. Anything you could do would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for listening, and I have put my email in my nic if anyone would like to contact me off of the board. I will post this once only per thread for today and tomorrow. Be well.

I *think* that the response to those kinds of refutations would be something along the lines of "well, of course they can. Emily Dickens isn't a *white* author, she's just an author that's part of the dominant culture. And being in that culture, black people have experienced her and therefore ca make statements about it. Same thing with Christianity v Muslims"

Of course, it still relies on the classic marxist formulation of dividing the world up into oppressors and oppressed.

174 Plus, what privilege, exactly, does whiteness have that people of color don't have?

Here's how the argument goes, and what they mean by "privilege"

Average, ordinary, normal Americans have a culture that they live in which is the dominant culture of this nation. It is freedom, baseball, apple pie, work hard to get what you want, etc. All the basic principles of Americanism and what defines American culture.

People who do not like or fit into that culture such as hard leftists, freaky perverts, crayola haired mental deficients, and so on feel like outsiders in that culture, they feel wierd and left out.

So they have decided to label normalcy and American culture as "privilege" and themselves as "normal" so that they don't feel weird any longer.

See its a privilege to be a regular person, that's the only way they can make themselves feel like a regular, ordinary human being. That is their real problem with American culture. Its not that they hate culture per se, its that they have lived their whole life feeling like a freak because, you know, they are freaks and demand everyone adapt and change to accept them rather than the reverse, or to just stand up and be who you are despite being odd.

Its all about normalizing aberrant, disgusting behavior and ideology, and marginalizing normalcy.

Honestly, I think she probably was thinking of "make the trains run on time", but is too historically illiterate and muddle headed to remember the exact phrasing.

Nor does she have the intellectual wherewithal to know the fascistic origins of that phrase.

Yet they'll be so powerful they'll be able to do literally hundreds of calculations a minute. Laugh if you want, this day is coming.


Using a typewriting kind of device, a user will be able to use "searching programs" that are designed to interface with this database. Journalists for instance, will be able to enter a query for information regarding companies, countries and even politicians and news personalities (including actual photographs of these individuals!).

Such technology will be able to, in a matter of seconds, allow information that would circumvent such an embarrassing display as Areva Martin's confusion as to the race of David Webb. Until such a day when this science fiction technology comes true, journalists will have to persevere as best they can with the limited means at their disposal.

The motif was first used by a medieval Swedish painter. No doubt Bergman was aware of it, and he was the first one to bring it into film.

"President Trump got all our favorite foods, it was the best meal we ever had. Then we go and see the coastal elite media trashing it for not being organic vegan. We're football players, not bloggers. This was a perfect blue collar party."

Lawrence wrote on his unverified Twitter account that the words were not his.

"I never said this by the way... I don't know where it came from. However the trip to the White House was awesome!" Lawrence tweeted.

Later on Tuesday afternoon, the tweet with the fake quote had been deleted.

The Dems (and some RINOs) will break all the rules (already have, actually) ... if they get POTUS back, they'd probably put in 5 new SCOTUS judges, and the Senate would eliminate the filibuster if they get power there. They are already exposed as commies and liars ... they and the oligarchs don't plan to be stopped by Trump and voters.

364 A hammer-wielding suspect in Brooklyn is in custody after a deadly surprise attack on three employees inside a Sheepshead Bay restaurant Tuesday night.

Authorities tell CBS2 that a 34-year-old man entered the eatery on Emmons Avenue just after 5 p.m. and attacked three men with his unregistered weapon.

Two of the men, a 61-year-old and 50-year-old, are said to be in serious condition. Police say the third victim, a 34-year-old man, has died of his injuries.

The attacker was caught by police nearby and taken into custody. Officers also recovered the assault hammer used in the attack, but have not announced what charges the alleged attacker will face.

Currently, investigators believe the attack was unprovoked. Police are continuing to question the 34-year-old to determine a motive.

In addition, it's an invitation to a type of nihilism. We don't know what we possibly understand anyway.

If we're saying the ceiling is experience of others, there is no guarantee that we don't all understand the same idea of "equality". How can I understand your experience of equality?

Which means that "equality" is a cipher and a less useful occupation.

No, the whole worth in hearing from other people is the hope to be able to understand--abstractly--the implications of their experience.

Pelosi is cancelling because she doesn't want the American public to hear him speak again. Just like the MSM briefly considered shutting town his request for an evening address from the Oval Offce. The SOTU is even more dangerous because it is always an (annoying) clap-fest, where the POTUS make triumphant declarations about what he's done, what he plans to do and then members of his party clap, sometime standing ovation.

Trump need to give his speech and it should definitely include an audience. Don't let her deprive him of that particular event - one where the sitting POTUS gets to do a victory lap.

425 Yao. It was the talking-time. Sun-In-His-Hair cleared his throat, stood, and reached for the stick.
"You may not have it yet." It was Pa-lo-si, the one from the west whom the French traders called "Grand Tetons." She held the stick; she would not let it go.
"It is time for me to speak to the People," Sun-In-His-Hair said. He used the low voice. She had tried his patience in the council before; now she sought to shame him, or worse. It could not be so.
"You may talk later, or you may paint your words on the hide, but you may not speak with the stick now."
"Why? I am the Chief; they are my People. They seek to hear, and I seek to tell."
"She is right," said Beak, who the children said could smell chances but not danger. "You must wait, or paint."
It was a challenge. Sun-In-His-Hair said nothing, but waited. Animals wait for their prey so that they may eat, and in so doing they prosper. He had shown that he could wait, too, and that you can win by waiting. So he watched, and said nothing.

474 46 The term "White Privilege" was invited by Peggy McIntosh, a wealthy white dingbat who confused the privileges she enjoyed from having lots of family money and social connections with just being white.

Which explains pretty well why the privilege lists and tests read like an economic privilege social jerk test to anyone who grew up poor and at the bottom of the social pecking order.

And why the ideology is most useful as a tool to keep well-off white chicks the center of attention despite the issue of racism being about someone else. Moving racism away from people's actions and attitudes and to a place where one gets to "confess" how awesome they are keeps the white chicks in the loop.

But how can you argue that? By your logic you cannot know what is in my head or my experiences or understanding, because we are different genders.

548 Nancy has given President Trump a Golden Opportunity. Honestly, I don't think she realizes how badly she has stepped in it.

Petulant and afraid (plus dementia) can make you do stupid stuff. Basically they knew RBG cannot attend as she is dying in what is essentially a hospice and doesn't want that to be shown. Plus this is meant to be one of those "damn you we're experiencing a shutdown and you people don't even seem to notice!" things

The problem, just like with EL Fudge cookies, is that the innards don't taste as good as they did when they started the whole "overstuffed" thing. Now you can almost feel the chemicals on your tongue, and what used to taste even more delicious because there is even more of it doesn't. Now it just tastes like the proportions are wrong.

It destroys its self, just like the "nothing exists except what my senses can experience and what science tells us" philosophy.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at January 16, 2019 01:28 PM (39g3+)

"You can't understand what it's like to be me" is both profoundly true, and also almost always based on the fantasy that minorities know *exactly* what it's like to be white, and women know *exactly* what it's like to be men.

Anyone can speak to their own life and *only* their own life, but if you can't extrapolate human experience in one direction you absolutely can't extrapolate it in the other direction, or *any* direction. You just can't.

But it's wrong anyway, because we can... women and men can imagine being the other sex and dealing with those issues because we're all human. Same with racial issues or ethnic issues, with religion or anything else. We're all human. And when someone explains feeling excluded (for example) someone just has to think... I was excluded that one time, I was wrongly passed over for this or that, and I *felt* like this about it... That's called empathy.

Which is apparently verboten among the woke.

The extreme stupid that the left directs towards women, the infantalizing and othering if we don't conform or think the way we're supposed to think... I look at what those same people do to minorities who won't conform and... it's similar. The crap directed toward women is irritating. The crap directed toward minorities is magnitudes more so... but a person can *empathize*... you recognize the similarities and then use your imagination to *scale it up*.

We're all human. This is what we DO.

604 I've listen to David Webb in the past. You would have to be functionally retarded to not realize he's black. It also exposes how people that have absolutely no substance to their arguments quickly resort to labels terminology and ideology , specifically the slanders of being a "racist bigot sexist homophobe", to cover their lack of a rational dialectic argument. There is no such thing as white privilege, it is simply an academic excuse to justify racism and discrimination performed by minorities against whites. Just like there is no toxic masculinity nor a male patriarchy, two other bullshit academic terms that feminists use to justify their discrimination against men. Webb should have spent his entire segment slamming the shit out of this woman and calling her out as the racist that she is. He then should have demanded that CNN fire her and that CNN sponsors quit endorsing any show that she appears on on CNN. That is how the left plays that game these days and the right will never win until they do the same.
