I cannot believe how many white people mooing "what bout ME" are writing articles on Medium. It is really crazy! I agree with everything you said, and I will add: I grew up as poor white trash. I haven't been able to provide myself with a wonderful life (yet), BUT, when my neighbor called the cops on me when my autistic son couldnt stop running around the apartment one night, making a lot of noise, I wasn't afraid for my life. I didn't love their tone. I didn't appreciate them looking down their noses at me as a solo mom...but I never worried one was going to pull a gun on me. Not once.

That is white privilege. Why can't be get that into people's heads? Nobody is saying that the cops don't treat other groups unfairly. It is about life and death, and the unfair access to continued life that white people have. It is truly shameful that some people are still playing dumb.
