Is white privilege a real thing?

I have a white friend on Facebook who always try to shame white people. She says that all white people have white privilege. She also says that it doesn't even matter how much you struggle in life.
Is white privilege a real thing and how do you overcome it? Is it something people say to shame people?

No. We're being hunted by the 6% of the population that's the laziest

no, just something liberals came up with.
This is 2016, not 1960. A black baby and a white baby are both equally able to read books, study, go to class, work hard, get into college, get a degree, get a job, raise a family, follow laws, and be productive members of society in general. There is absolutely nothing stopping anyone from achieving their dreams.

My cousin try's to say the same thing. She had this idea that our lives are 10x easier because of the fact we are white.

Yes, HilLIARy said white people need to do a better job of understanding black peoples, so it must be reals.

To some extent it does exist. But that's not my problem. Stereotypes exist for a reason.

Not nearly as much as they say. I will admit that I have never been searched after being pulled over and I probably had drugs on me every time I was pulled over in my 20's. But I was taught to always give police the "yes sir, no sir". I've also been cut loose on a couple of potential DUI's.

It's simply an insidious term created to institutionalize both black victimhood and white guilt. It prevents, not enhances, the chances of eventually creating a society that is no longer so race conscious. It's racist to use that term, and it hinders black advancement.

Except the black kid goes to school for free, and can't be fired once he lands a job. Let him call HR one time and he becomes invincible.
If anything, black privilege is very real. The black community just doesn't take full advantage of it.

Yeah, lots of white people wish they had been born black to enjoy those privileges.

Being white is a disadvantage in many instances... Lower ACT requirement for minorities... Also, the best man doesn't always get the job when different races are involved. Ive had a few white friends that were told they were the wrong color after trying to get on at the fire station.

I'm amazed by how many people on my timeline swallow the whole white privilege bit.
