It existed back in the day but in this day and age they need to realize that we all suffer and go through things it's not related to race at all.

White people are still disproportionately advantaged based solely on the color of their skin. Someone who believes white privilege doesn't exist anymore is clearly not checking their own privilege effectively enough. White privilege does not solely deal with financial or class struggle - it mainly involves long-ingrained societal biases that we must work harder to recognize and dismantle.

we all go through things. However, white ppl go through things and are just white. Other ppl go through things BECAUSE they are not white.

A take on white privilege this backwards could only come from a lack of perspective: Claiming this are "not related to race" is in and of itself a manifestation of white privilege. Being able to not become privy to any form of suffering or struggle that other's face on a daily basis, while confusing everyday struggles of living in America as being "equal" with people of color is exactly why white privilege will never not exist. It's far too ingrained in so many mindsets that they are unable to see it

Racism is not just an interpersonal issue, but a structural one. Black people are more likely to face housing, employment, and healthcare discrimination on basis of race. Institutions like redlining have directly impacted the livelihoods of Black Americans across the country, the effects of which will likely prevail for decades to come. White people are, to most upon first impression, inherently more innocent, intelligent, trustworthy, or non-threatening than Black people, purely based on preconceived notions. In many cases, racism is entirely subconscious. This doesn't mean that it's not there, however.

That it still exists but it has improved. There will always be preferences based on culture, race and ethnicity.
