What if the black boss fails to promote a white subordinate because he doesn't like white people? I would argue that's both racism and oppression. And if he promotes a less qualified black subordinate over the more qualified white subordinate, then that would be privilege.
That example of privilege was obtained due to a person who was racist. That's why it is my opinion that terms like white privilege are covered under the umbrella of racism and are therefore not needed.
