Not true. In fact you’ve run through the false framing already debunked in that discussion; that observed disparate outcomes by race “proved” systemic racism (they don’t), uniformly dismissed evidence to the contrary, then pivoted to the inevitable fallback position that failure to disprove the premise that systemic racism exists proves it does. Hence I don’t feel like having the same discussion twice, especially given you haven’t presented any evidence supporting your claim of systemic racism, thus nothing for me to “engage.”
The disparity between crack cocaine and powder cocaine
The rationale for the difference in penalty was cited at the time as a general belief that crack is more dangerous/harmful to society due to its extensive proliferation and widespread use. The article does not dispute this. In fact it goes on to cite nothing more than the observation of disparate outcomes as evidence of racism, which again, does not prove such a claim.
The assumption that crack was penalized more heavily in order to target blacks doesn’t even hold up to scrutiny:
The disparity between drug arrests despite equivalent percentages of drug use
The article states:
Interesting citation as evidence of systemic racism given that the author specifically says this is not necessarily the case and even unlikely.
Redlining policies
Addressed here
The legacy of Jim Crow laws
No evidence is given in the article for its comparison between Jim Crow laws and voter ID. Again, the only explanation given in support of that argument is a simple observation that a larger portion of African Americans are don’t have photo ID. The most common reason for a lack of photo ID is living in an urban area where public transportation is available and thus the need for drivers licenses is decreased. Again, no evidence was given for the outlandish comparison between Jim Crow laws and essentially living in an urban area and/or being too old to drive.
Disparity in hiring for equal applicants of different racism but equivalent qualifications
Again, all that is presented here is an observation of disparity with no analysis of underlying factors, thus there is little or nothing available to measure the presenter’s assumptions. Hiring is done by people. People have biases. These hiring biases have been found to work in favor of as well as against black or white applicants.

Legacy of sundown towns
This is a blog post where one person recounts their personal experiences. As I said, historical discrimination does not evidence current claims of systemic racism, assuming you could extrapolate from county level racial disparities in residence in a single state to begin with.
As an aside, the assumption that implicit biases, even if they exist, can cause explicit disparities in outcomes,
is just that. Evidence indicates while changes in implicit measures are possible, but those changes do not necessarily translate into changes in explicit measures or behavior.
