Maybe you shouldn't comment on something you have so little knowledge of.
There have been multiple studies posted showing that blacks and minorities are treated worse in housing applications, job applications, and profiling by police. Since white people are treated better and white people control a disproportionate amount of wealth and power in this country then white people have a privilege.
If you admit that racism exists. And if you admit that white people control a disproportionate amount of wealth and power in this country, then you have to admit that there is a privilege to being white in the United States.
