The only one I’m aware of, or was at least aware of a long time ago and may have been since abolished, is discrepancies between crack and cocaine drug charges.

Maybe. But technically has nothing to do with race.
That law has been changed, however, and rightfully so.

You can't really use this in a vacuum because you can prove discrepancies for meth and heroin charges that make it look "oppressive" to white people

"Congress’s passage of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 created a five-year mandatory minimum sentence for possession of five grams (or just a few rocks) of crack cocaine. (21 U.S.C. § 841 (2006).) “Mandatory minimum” means just what it says: A person convicted of a first offense of possessing five grams of crack had to be sentenced to five years in federal prison. By contrast, under the 1986 Act a coke-snorting user had to be caught with 100 times that amount of powder cocaine (500 grams, or over a pound) in order to face a similar five-year mandatory minimum sentence."
Who controlled the House in 1986?

The fallacy in the argument is even comparing crack and powder cocaine. Crack is cheap and gives a quick short lived intense high.
Crack has always had similar sentencing guidelines as meth and only 2% of meth convictions are black, most are white.
Meth now has even worse sentencing guidelines than crack
This is just another false narrative to transfer blame.
