All you do by saying crap like that is cause more racial strife.

Acknowledging that some people have innate advantages* in life because of the colour of their skin, or their gender, or their sexual orientation, or their nationality, etc. is not an attack. White privilege is a very real thing that exists whether you want to admit it or not. Nobody is "attacking" anyone just for the sake of being white by stating that.
*Or, perhaps more accurate, some people have innate disadvantages for those same reasons.
