Sounds like you witnessed a classic ad hominem attack that accomplished exactly what the person wanted it to do. Attacking an argument by attacking the person, using deliberately reactionary language designed to turn the listeners against the opponent.
Privelige does exist, there is no doubt. Being white and possessing a penis are definite advantages in some circles. However, green is a MUCH more priveliged color, and thanks to the gains made by minorities in the area of being filthy rich, much more multicultural than it used to be. It's a hell of a lot easier to be Beyonce's or Kim K's offspring than mine, for example. White privelige only goes so far, and only in certain circles. But green Privelige is timeless.

Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
