Woah, woah, woah. Hold the phone. They had "influence" in the community and that means privilege? Define the influence they had and then list the privileges they granted to white people that were not given to black people.

Sure, if those in power were granting privileges to white people only. Just because those involved in the club and were a part of the community and had some sort of "influence" doesn't mean there's white privilege. Point to the privileges that only whites received and then you'll have a case for white privilege.
