I've never heard the term "White Blues" applied to a chord progression. I wonder if he/she is referring to the Jimmie Rogers type of blues, which is essentially a 12-bar blues with a four bar yodel tacked on the end.

Jimmie also often changed the chords a bit:
I /IV /I /I7 /IV /IV /I /VI7 /II7 /V7 /I /V7 /
Yodel- I /V7 /I /V7 /
