Ultimately the problem with the phrasing is that privilege is something given which can be removed. It's false because no one in particular decrees or gives benefits for being white - which would also be illegal. Disparity and disadvantage are better words. It's a social bias, and those cannot be changed by a decree. So not only is it attacking people, alleging guilt, it's also an ineffective stance to repeatedly point it out. Affirmative action also has connotation of failure to solve the issues black people face.
