White Supremacy still exists.

His father is a black Kenyan. Literal African. His "wife" and children are all black. They all identify as black.
These are contradictory statements. Once an idea or belief is rooted it can no longer be "unbelieved".
Your supportive comments admits this by saying believes can die out.
A belief can certainly be changed or abandoned but it can never cease to exist once created. It is part of your cognitive mental construct.
So the statement remains true: White supremacy is a belief and will never cease to exist.

So, the Japanese and Germans who believed in Nazism, still Believe in Nazism.
Also, Obama's mother identified as Caucasian. Not Black.
And the Whites who believed in segregation still believe that America should be separated by race?
Also, women who believe that they are inferior to men, is that belief still around?
Or how about the belief that someone stole your car when in actuality you forgot where you parked?
What you are saying is that "beliefs never cease because all beliefs come from facts or truths".
Which is false.
How about the belief that Man A is the father of your baby, but after a paternity test, you find out Man B is the biological father?
Does that belief cease for the mother? That Man A is the father?

Dont know you can ask @babydolla shes japanese.
AND? i never claimed obamas mother was black or that she was a black president. I said obama is black and he was our president and that is proof that systemtic opression doesnt exist.
I dont know ask "the whites" whoever they are.
Some women may believe that. You should ask women.
The fact that you can remember the erroneous "belief" that someone stole your car means the believe doesnt cease to exist, rather that youve forgotten about it.
I never said all beliefs come from truths jackass. I said conceptualized beliefs will never cease to exist, once conceptualized.
It doesnt. It gets stored in her cerebral cortex. When she remembers that she took a paternity test then the original belief where she thought man A was the father will come to light. It doesnt dissapear.

The belief that Man A was the father was likely strongly encoded and ingrained, given the emotional and practical significance of believing he was the father. This makes the belief impossibly resistant to being unbelieved or erased.
Consider the example of someone who strongly believes the earth is flat. They have held this belief for a long time and it is deeply ingrained in their view. Then, they are presented with overwhelming scientific evidence that the earth is actually spherical. They are shown satellite images, explained the concepts of gravity and curvature, and provided irrefutable proof that their flat earth belief is incorrect.
Even after accepting this new information and consciously changing their belief to align with the reality of the earths spherical shape, the original flat earth belief does not simply disappear from their mind.
Just as the mother in the paternity test example may still have remnants of the original belief about the father, the former flat earther would still have some cognitive residue of that initial belief, even after fully accepting the reality of the spherical earth.
The key point is that beliefs, once conceptualized, do not simply vanish when contradicted. They have everlasting presence in a persons mind and when shared with other minds they have the capacity to transcend the original idea holder and exist for generations.

What if the woman MOVED ON from her false belief about Man A. She would feel SILLY or ashamed from thinking that again.
Or how about a woman who married a sociopath/Adulterer. Her belief that her husband is faithful just stays with her?
Or how about the belief that your pizza will arrive within 30 minutes.
Do you still believe that if you pizza arrived 35 minutes? No. You move on from your false belief.
Why are you saying people SHOULD hold on to false beliefs?
