It doesn't have to be white privilege. Privilege is just as insidious in any form, but because our country's class imbalance skews along color lines (predominantly, though, of course, there are exceptions), it often manifests as racial.

That got Obama the nod for president over essentially his white, more experienced clone, John Edwards?

Obama is far most charismatic than Edwards, and they do have (admittedly, not huge) policy differences. Also, Edwards had tried and failed in a Presidental race once before, making him much more of a known commodity. "White, more experienced clone" is not a fair description.
