White man to the rescue:
One: They talk about "drug" offenses at roughly comparable rates. They ignore the fact that drug offenses committed by blacks are more frequently violent, and more frequently gun related. Thus the harsher sentences.
Two: It's called profiling, and it works. If black people don't like being profiled, then they should focus on cleaning up their neighborhoods and improving their social image, instead of just complaining about how it's never their fault. Example: https://hooktube.com/watch?v=2ZGSQXmJPaQ
Three: Talks about arrests for drug crimes. This author doesn't seem to realize that police are also humans, capable of exercising judgement. If a white kid has some weed on him, and breaks down in tears as the gravity of what is about to go down hits him, a cop might just let him go. I got let go from an open container charge for the same reason. And who's to say a cop wouldn't do the same thing for a black kid in the same circumstances? But that's not what happens. What usually happens is the black kid does something stupid like try to run, or pull a gun, or mimic pulling a gun. And these days, when you have BLM actively promoting the death of police officers, I don't really blame them for being a little paranoid. Cops have been executed in their cars simply for being cops - very recently.
Four: Maybe they're detained longer because it takes longer to build a case around a greater multitude of charges? See Number 1 and the failure to mention the incidence of violence in "drug arrests".
Five: Implying that white people can universally afford private defenders. Horseshit.
Six: "Illegally excluded". Right. I don't have time to hunt down that study, but given the front page of the EJI's website, I'm not satisfied with the impartiality of this study. From nolo.com:
So, if I were a prosecutor of a black burglary suspect, and I found out one of the jurors regularly contributed to the EJI, for isntance, I might consider challenging their impartiality.
Seven: Black suspects opt for the guaranteed lesser sentence rather than risking the full sentence, and somehow that's the system's fault?
Eight: Recidivism rates for blacks are ~59.1%; for whites, ~41.7% (src: https://www.recidivism.com/ scroll about 2/3 down to find the race graph). That could have something to do with the sentencing. There's probably a million different things that the average person isn't aware of that goes into determining sentencing guidelines, because we're not lawyers.
Nine: That's just straight up misleading. "See this r-value here? Obviously this means racism!" Bullshit. Flimsy correlation is flimsy.
Ten: And once again, we come back to that fun phrase "drug crime", which conveniently ignores the fact that "drug crimes" by blacks are also overwhelmingly violent crimes, thus the disparity.
Eleven: This is another misleading statistic. NIglets aren't 32% more likely to go to jail because they're black, they're 32% more likely to make choices that result in jail time because they're black. That's how arrests work - you have to break the law first. If you don't break the law, and are arrested, people who aren't stupid know how to deal with that.
Twelve: Somehow, the over-representation of black juveniles in arrest statistics is everyone else's fault. Once again, we are reminded about the liberal's disdain for personal accountability.
Thirteen: Black males are the largest percentage of inmates in the country that incarcerates the most of its citizens. Yet another reminder that personal agency means nothing to the left.
And Fourteen: Mysteriously absent from this gem is the phrase "similarly qualified".
Well, that was fun. Hope it helps.

Good answers. The video made me role my eyes. Is there any sources you can give me?

CDC and FBI are the places to look. But I don't have any on hand.
