Once when I was in university, I had "white privilege" explained as this: 1. As a white man, Can you walk down the street without having people lock their doors? Cloth their bags closer? 2. As a white female, can you have children with you and everyone assumes you have a spouse and aren't on welfare? 3. Can you walk into businesses and get quick, friendly service? 4. Can you get better service at s bank? For a mortgage loan? 5. Everyone assumes you've never been in jail. 6. Are managers/bosses nicer to you because you look like them? 7. As a man, if you're with your SO and a child, everyone assumes you're married and the kid is yours. 8. You're more likely to be thought of as intelligent and having attained higher education.

To me it was explained as just the general perceptions of you from strangers (society) based on your skin color. I don't think those perceptions are unfounded against black people, 70% of black babies are born out of wedlock, blacks do make a high percentage of welfare compared to how many there actually are, they do perform much lower in schools and have much more behavior issues, and they do make a large percentage of the prison population. But certainly there are many who aren't any of those things but the perceptions still apply to them because they're black.
