First example from your article:
"I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented."
Someone being the same color as me doesn't mean they "represent" me in any way.
The main criticism of the mass media over the last year and a half was how they breathlessly promoted Clinton. Yet white people turned up in droves to not vote for her. Many of those same white people voted for Obama twice. Yet he isn't white. The white privilege narrative from the perspective of your article is simple-minded and reductionist in the extreme.
