Very good paper for those who either don't understand what white privilege is and or keep their heads in the sand in denial of its existence.
Pointing out inequality, or that a system is favoring some over others is not really whining, or crying... and realising that things may be stacked against certain types of people is not the same as refusing to go out there and try hard, or whatever.
There is white priviledge, and there is institutionalized racism, and there is cultural baggage, cultural power and other factors swimming around us all the time. No harm in pointing it out, is there?
The more we all pay attention to the world around us the better.

it's class priviledge, not white priviledge. A middleclass black person has more priviledge in society because of their class than a poor white person. I grew up as a poor white cultural minority and I got nothing out of being white. In fact my dialect, accent and background of extreme poverty held me back. But I didn't let it stop me, just made it a lot harder. If you want and you're willing to put in the work and effort to get it, you've got a whole hell of a lot better chance of getting it.
Kitten Koder of the Klan?
The source(article), which was attached to the first post is obviously some Doctoral students opinion and it almost seems self hatred of being white and of the white race. Or, maybe I shouldn't say race, as the article's writer doesn't beleive that white people see themselves as a race of people and that we just seem to see ourselves as clear. I'm sorry people, but that's about the biggest crock or horsesh#t I've ever heard. I'm white, I see myself as a race just as any other. I have friends of all races and would never claim any of them to be clear. That's just a deragatory statement within itself in only the 2nd paragraph of the entire document. Anyone can have a perspective on the world and see it in a different view. That's fine. Just don't act like white people caused all of the problems for blacks and for the wrongdoing of this country. Black slaves were sold by black slave masters to white master's. Exactly where does this come up in the conversation. There is an entire other argument for this conversation and it could go on forever. Everyone wants to put blame on things that happened hundreds of years ago. That's the way it turned out, accept it, move on, stop bitching, and look at your own self to see what you can accomplish in life.
Bullshit!
In the US black folk have just as much "privilege" as the white folk

No everyone does *NOT* have everything equal in America, not even a white woman as yourself you idiot, why do you think they have affirmative for women?.
Aaah ... but it has passed it's time, we do have equal rights now, so we just let it be after we won. If not for the fact that we are needed as incubators we would be completely the same as men in the country, but that one requirement does make a few differences inherent.
On a side note, only 36% of the population is white men ... so yeah ... some "majority" there. They don't get treated better no matter how you spin it, and being white does not guarantee a damned thing. When you quit whining about what's in the past then people won't hate you as often ...

No that time has not passed, explain why white women earn far less than white men for doing the same job when experience and qualifications of white women are equal and or exceed that of white men?

Yeah, white men only 36% of the population yet they hold almost 95% of the senior executive positions and leadership positions in America, thats equality right? Their being white and male has a lot to do with it.
