I doubt Angela Davis benefitted from privilege. And if she did, it would be her responsibilty to fight for those who don't.Whites such as yourself don't seem to understand the concept of privilege in regard to race. Davis was born in 1944. But here, this is what you dishonestly don't post because some racist on twitterx wants to discredit blacks and deny Americas history of racism by whites.Agreed.
This still does not mean, her, and her relatives have not benefited from privilege.
You would be making assumptions.
Angela Davis was born on January 26, 1944, in Birmingham, Alabama. She was christened at her father's Episcopal church. Her family lived in the "Dynamite Hill" neighborhood, which was marked in the 1950s by the bombings of houses in an attempt to intimidate and drive out middle-class black people who had moved there.

Where is the privilege?
Davis attended Carrie A. Tuggle School, a segregated black elementary school, and later, Parker Annex, a middle-school branch of Parker High School in Birmingham.
By her junior year of high school, Davis had been accepted by an American Friends Service Committee (Quaker) program that placed black students from the South in integrated schools in the North. She chose Elisabeth Irwin High School in Greenwich Village.
Where is the privilege?
Davis was awarded a scholarship to Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, where she was one of three black students in her class.
During her second year at Brandeis, Davis decided to major in French and continued her study of philosopher and writer Jean-Paul Sartre. She was accepted by the Hamilton College Junior Year in France Program. Classes were initially at Biarritz and later at the Sorbonne. In Paris, she and other students lived with a French family. She was in Biarritz when she learned of the 1963 Birmingham church bombing, committed by members of the Ku Klux Klan, in which four black girls were killed; she had been personally acquainted with the victims.
