With Valentine's day just passed [my thanks to those that purchased some of my inscribed poetry and other gift items] I wanted to go back and mention something. We need more social darwinism I think. You might ask what this has to do with black entertainment, or the entertainment industry at all. The answer is everything, in a way.
In every venue of entertainment sex, sensuality and competition reign. Football, as an example, is a declaration of the fitness of a male as opposed to the other players. Physique and ability provide oppourtunities for a man to show a potential mate that his gene set is worthy of reproduction. In music, the accents are more on the mental attributes. The ability to dominate peers and sway masses. Acting is more subtle. Acting combines mental discipline, the ability to adapt, creativity and varying degrees of facial/physical attractiveness. In each case the qualities presented are to exemplify the worthiness of procreation. Procreating is the best, most common, absolutely most active form of entertainment. Anywhere at anytime, at least to my understanding - correct me if I am wrong.
That said, while the drive to procreate may be instinctual, so is the selection process. Which brings me to flirting. [stay with me, I'm getting there] The ability to flirt and notice someone flirting in ingrained in us. It is as primal as breathing. Nature rewards those who are better at it than others. [thus the darwinism] Those who are bad at it have fewer chances to breed and thus their genes are removed from the human species pool, allowing for better future humans. (its entertainment the entire world can understand and do, and its beneficial to Mankind - isn't that great)
Yet some people want to mess with nature. To quote and old stock brokerage industry saying, they "are trying to reinvent the wheel." I couldn't believe it, but there are actually schools to give lessons in flirting ettiquette. Now that is insane. I mean its one thing to have different approaches but lets 'be real'. Even a study by the Czech Republic Labour Ministry realizes "Conversations with hidden erotic meaning, provacative allusions and even rude stories are all part of what makes the world go round."
If someone can't figure that out, they don't need a class... they need to be removed from the gene pool. Nature has identified something about their genetic make-up that just should not continue. Helping these people just hurts Mankind, in the long run.
This is what I think, what do you think?
