There are plenty of kinds of privilege. Being white means that when you're pulled over (if you manage to afford a car), you know it's not because you're white. Being white means that when you turn on the TV, you mostly see folks of your race represented. Being white means being told that throughout history, your race is what made the modern world what it is. Being white means being able to always find the company of people of your race [1]. Being white means that when you write good school essays, you're not continually asked who wrote them for you. Being white means that BLM protests can be the first time you understand how Black people are treated.
There are similarly privileges from being born in the US, from being straight, from being male, from being able-bodied and from being cis-gendered.
Being poor doesn't eliminate those and is still disenfranchising, but not having the above privileges _and_ being poor is even worse.
