Being white has advantages, that's true.

Being black can also have advantages (affirmative action).

But no one uses "black privilege". Because everyone is aware that most of the blacks are, in sum, more disadvantaged compared to median citizen.

Some of the whites are also more disadvantaged. If I were one of them, i would be equally repulsed by "white privilege"

Blacks make up 13% of U.S population but 74.4% of NBA, and 30% of Hollywood. Is that meritocracy or priviledge?
Don't know about Hollywood but NBA is both. Meritocracy selecting privileged genes.
