Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

The wikipedia article is very long, includes several different eras several different countries, white privledge as viewed by everything from Marxists to feminists to critiques of white privilege to deny it's existence. So you can't 'just read the what wikipedia says' since it gives different and sometimes contradictory points of view. Which is exactly what most wikipedia articles do and is the whole point of wikipedia. What it doesn't do is give some magic, handy universal definition. You can't say 'I agree with wikipedia' Wikipedia doesn't agree with itself. It gives an overview of different points of view about it. That's why it's my pet peeve on here. You are basically telling someone else to do your research for you. You'd think that you would at least be able to narrow it down to the section that you agreed with.
By the way, this has nothing to do with my views on white privilege, which I think for sure exists and I wrote a bit about in the thread on white privilege.
It's in the first sentence of the article, CA. Forgive me if I don't have enough time to take someone like A Theist seriously.

Then don't reply to him, and don't be too lazy to cut and paste one sentence, but expect him to read a 100 paragraph wikipedia article? C'mon.

Haha, very funny, because Wikipedia isn't at all a useful resource for education </sarcasm>.
But for the record, I've known about white privilege for a number of years now. I only referred to Wikipedia as a quick summary for you to check for how white privilege is generally defined. And you only had to check the first paragraph or two for just the definition.
