So if someone disagrees that we live in a white supremacist culture, they should just sit mute and not challenge that claim?

  Yes. If you believe the earth is flat, it’s best to avoid the subject.

    Alternatively, they could use one of their beloved bleach cures for whatever ails them.

  Is a yes/no question about speaking or not really the best possible question to ask here? When we are lacking metacognition on the subject, we can be at the point where we don't even know how to ask the right questions. This is because we can't assess how our beliefs and expectations constrain the range of questions we even know to ask. If you've ever chuckled over the hoary old tale of someone asking tech support, "where is the 'any' key?", you know how lack of understanding can lead to wildly incorrect mental models of a subject. There are decades - nay, centuries - of writing about race relations, racial bias, and systemic discrimination. Before we ask a question, perhaps we'd be well-served to have at least a survey course level of familiarity with the issues, so that we might ask good questions.

  That's the problem with extreme leftist arguments in general. If you don't have the same opinion, or even hold an opinion that falls short of the furthest left possible on the spectrum, you are either bulldozed into submission or, if you refuse to submit, "canceled" as racist or xenophobe. It's incredibly toxic behavior. Nothing is considered an acceptable response except full submission to one side of the argument. Any alternate response is racist, abandoning the argument is white fragility, and silence is complicity in genocide.
