Oftentimes people argue against the concept of white privilege, because white people can still be quite disadvantaged in other areas, often due to class. The meme is meant to point out white privilege doesn't mean white people have it easy, just that their race (or rather the social structures in regards to their race) doesn't serve as an obstacle like it does for people of colour.
I’m confused what’s the message here

Oh I thought people were against the meme for some reason I was dumb and didn’t read the title and understand it well enough
Pretty sure it’s the double negative that threw them off. I know (through trials by error) how my English major wife would write it:
White privilege does not mean your life was easy. It means your race was not an obstacle.
“I didn’t have white privilege! I grew up as a poor white man and had a really hard life”
