While looking for Muay Thai knockout videos on YouTube, "street fight compilation" videos started apearing in my search feed. I watched a few and a clear pattern started to show. I would say about 70% (mabye more) of the time it was blacks displaying this thuggish behaviour on camera. It got me thinking. 1. There is an abundance of camera phones in society everyone has an opportunity to video and post these videos to the internet. 2. The people who post them just want views, it's purely about the fight. Race has no influence on what is uploaded. If you don't believe me search for a street fight compelation and you can see for yourself that black Americans are most likely to be evolved. Also it's become apparent black men in these videos to most likely to be striking a female than a male from any other race. I have come to the conclusion that statistics show that black people are most likely to carry out this type of behaviour. Why do you think this is?
To be fair, you may be right, but you should also remember that statistically videos that appear on YouTube are not random. Search algorithms are used. So if, for example, a certain group of people were choosing to view street fights that involved black people, those videos would be more likely to show. This could happen for a variety of different reasons. Or there might be something in a certain segment of black culture that is far more likely to record these videos. One can't always make the logical automatic jump between correlation and causation. There are all sorts of factors that could cause more videos of black street fighting to appear for you, without there necessarily being more black street fighting taking place in reality.
Because our racist society, all the way down to online searches, has long been brainwashed into painting Black people as our nation's quintessential example of trifling living. Especially darkskinned Blacks.

Yes you do have a point. But as I am aware that the search algorithms will not actually watch the video itself . We do not have the technology for an internet script to watch a video and understand and interpritate it. Therefore the algothioms the script used to rank videoes in search is done using a videos titles, description, tags and possible comments. After scouring what is used to rank the videos I can positively say nothing is used that identifies race in it. So even if the YouTube script was racist, because there is no mention of race in the sources it uses to rank the videos it's impossible that the algothiom used race to categorise race in these videos. So in conclusion this is a non factor..... As for your theory that blacks are more likely to celebrate thuggish behaviour by recording it and posting it online, I'm not entirely convinced. Whites and any other race are just as likely to carry out the same sort of behaviour. I personally believe this obsession in modern culture with smart phones and people having the need to constantly record, take pictures and upload content transcends races. Literally this behaviour is prevalent across all cultures and not just blacks. Although there is no hard evidence and it could be possible. I simply don't think it's plausible. Any other races I believe is just as likely to record and upload content as blacks. A generation gluded to a phone transcends race. Also in regard of the op thread. Another that backs up the theory, blacks are more likely to be involved in thuggish behaviour is the crimes committed statistics. These statistics supports what ia seen in the videos. So I bring this back to the original question, why do you think this is?
