Someone once told me there are specification positions and strategies where being black in chess is more advantageous since being white since you always have one more move worth of information than your opponent.
Is this true?

this can only be "true" in the sense of rough heuristics people use
One player, either white or black, has the ability to force either a win or draw. Nobody knows whether that player is white or black, because chess is too complicated.
As far as we know, black might have a strategy to always get a win/draw.

Perhaps, but in general initiative is far more valuable than information.
Even if I know what you're going to do, it doesn't help me; you're perpetually forcing my moves. You know what I'm going to do (and if I make an unexpected move it will probably be to my immediate disadvantage), so you'd be in complete control of the game.

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me, I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.

Was she looking kinda dumb? With her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forhead?

I think so but well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming. Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running.

Or you could just make the first move, and then consider yourself as having the advantage because you can react to their next move?

Every move black makes they are always going to have more information.
Against a bad player, black may be able to gain tempo against white. But at higher levels of play this pretty much never happens.

This. In beginner and intermediate play you have players who prefer a side. This goes away eventually.
