I think there’s a distinction. I have the right to vote. If I were black, living in particular areas or time periods, I might still have to worry about whether that right will end up mattering in the real world. I guess I’d say that “privilege” is the word for rights that are not fairly implemented in practice.
(though I don’t actually believe in ‘rights’ as something that exists in the abstract. They’re conventions we use because people collectively prefer to have them.)
The conventional name for the concept FAWS described above is ‘rights’.
