We need to compare apples to apples. Would you argue that a 1%er is right to say that wealth privilege doesn’t exist because he has a disability, a legitimate disadvantage in its own right? That opportunities to become wealthy are just as accessible to you as they are to him? Of course not, and his denial of wealth privilege doesn’t make it any less true.
While it is true money is part of white privilege, money is one (of many) indicators, it is not the primary determining factor. Things like access, representation, application of the law, unequal policing, unequal demands, and systemic support are much bigger factors. On balance, it goes something like this: white guys get arrested, black guys get shot. White women get rehab, black women get jail. Unemployed white women are "stay at home moms," unemployed black women are "lazy welfare queens." So on and so forth.
A rich white person has wealth privilege compared to a middle class white person just as a middle class white person has white privilege compared to a black person regardless of money or wealth.
The wealthy white person has privilege compared to both of them, because of that, it stands to reason that there be an alliance to gain political equality for black/poc people and middle class/poor whites. That alliance requires acceptance of white privilege. It is non-negotiable.
You can categorically reject the notion of white privilege, but you do it at the expense of your fight for income fairness. That’s how oppression works, the pain trickles down on everyone but does not distribute evenly. Equality will either include poc, or it won’t happen at all – because the system is set up to oppress black people. Thanks to neoliberalism, inequality has devolved to oppress more white people than ever before, so any solution must be inclusive. You can’t have one without the other. Not unless you restore the days of old and that’s not going to happen.
My initial response turned into a longer piece which I am still working on, I will post it soon as an OP. I'll let you know when I do, if you'd like.
