Her doing this in no way means white privilege doesn't exist. It means she tried to game the system and got caught doing so.

Best I could tell, all her links were just links back to that sites articles, or link couldn't be found. One of her links actually went back to a Washington Post article from 2014 that had actual data on arrests, but outside of that, nada. That is some ****ty journalism.

let me just speak generally here, I might be wrong or whatever but its how I think.
I think white privilege exist in the sense that nepotism exist. White hire whites, Blacks hire blacks and Mexicans hire Mexicans.
Whites got into power first, so their in the unique position to hand out other positions of power and they hire other whites, and this was apparent hence the affirmative action law was introduced to give non whites a fighting chance to achieve and obtain the same success whites can however these same laws are overseen and regulated by other whites.
Anyways fast forward to today, every race has become successful, but with that being said Whites are still the majority so whites have a easier time* when they look for help/jobs/loans etc than others just down to the sheer numbers, its still a "BOYS CLUB" sort of speak with them in the power position but thats just how the cards fell. Is it right is it wrong? I dont look at it in those terms to me its just how the cards fell.
Today in America their is absolutely no reason why you cant achieve any level of success that you want, with Smarts, some balls, and alot of hard work anything is achievable.
So does white privilege exist? yes, does it really even matter? 50/50**.
I also believe the whites know this, thats why they trying to prolong the inevitable of BROWN PRIVILEGE which is gonna be the new era! we will have a longer reign and build our wealth.
Other side of white privledge is the injustices but I didnt want to get into that....
*easier time = white priveldege
** it matters cause of fairness, a white perosn in position of power gives the job to anotehr white man who isnt as qualified as a black man than yes it matters cause know you capped that man level of success, but whos to say if the roles were reverse it wouldnt be the same thing? just how the cards fell imo.
