I hope to do a technical writeup of my process soon. In short, the training images were created from videos of rotating the tube around in hand at various angles and lighting conditions. These images were then annotated to determine the l

I don't think he's arguing the disparity of the rate, but rather the implied generalization that former-convict = African-American. Look at the statistics posted above, that is not true. I agree, it needs redesign.
