Many people are unable to understand the concept of white privilege because it is hard to place yourself in someone else's shoes and see life from their perspective. Additionally a large number of people, including white people, do not live in luxury and as such become frustrated and angry that other groups are getting handouts that would be equally appreciated in their own situation. White privilege can be best explained as the inherent benefits that white people possess in life purely by the coincidence that they are born white. Examples of this include higher chance to be born into wealth, minimal exposure to racism in life and often benefitting, even accidentally, from racism, and a host of others.
