WHEN is white privilege not white privilege? When the person who you are accusing of it is a black man.

Things got awkward for Areva Martin, a civil rights attorney and CNN legal analyst, during a radio show hosted by David Webb, a contributor at Fox News.

Ms Martin accused interviewer Mr Webb of enjoying ‘white privilege’ but it turns out that he is black. Oh dear, things can get tricky if you don’t have the right researchers and you want to indulge in a spot of race baiting. Ms Martin did at least apologise for her error, but she stood by her divisive theory of white privilege.

Worth a listen.
