There are more white people I feel that struggle because they are white. The other races because they are a different race sometimes get more privilege due to the color of the skin

I do not think that white people have more rights than others, however white people may be treated better or more leniently than other people.

white privilege isn't that white people have more legal rights, they have more social privileges such as respect and aren't socially seen as less than. some struggle to understand it because they see minorities experiencing an increase in rights and just automatically assume that everyone's equal now only because there is no legal differences. however, the way they are seen socially greatly impacts the way they are treated in various institutions and so continue to be disadvantaged.

In my experience, people who reject the idea of white privilege tend to be white people who feel like they got themselves where they are. They think the idea of having a leg up is ridiculous, because they don’t feel as though they had one. In reality, white privilege is much more insidious than that. These ideas of racial inequality are deeply rooted in our nations history and ancestors, so most people do not realize they are biased towards a particular group.
