"White privilege" doesn't mean that you automatically enjoy upper-class status. It means you have a relative advantage over black people, ceteris paribus.
Despite how bad your circumstances may seem, racial discrimination could take you a long way down from where you are now.
(Also consider the fact that you might not enjoy straight privilege. Which is, like white privilege, huge.)
