Fuck off mate, if you're pissing yourself over the phrase "white privilege" it's not labelling all white people as privileged, it's just pointing out that in this and similar societies white people don't have to deal with certain things pertaining to not being white on top of whatever else they may have to deal with. Much like the guy who posted recently that he got called a foreign cunt when trying to speak Hungarian on the phone, the blatant pervasive racism can be pretty invisible to those not on the tail end of it, which is a privilege those who do have to deal with it, usually due to race but also due to sex or accent or surname or whatever else, don't have.
