Dating - A Cultural View

Dating, as currently understood, is an esoteric concept popularized during the 18th and 19th century in the British Commonwealth at the height of its power and influence.
This approach by which mates and significant others were selected was forcefully introduced and imported to remote areas of the world in an effort to bring European civilization to the uncivilized inferiors.
However, selective formulation as practiced by the proletariat and monarchic systems ensured that wealth, center of power and prestige remained level, secure and in the hands of a precious few.
Much of this country's history related to this subject is complicated and varied.
Since we are descendants of immigrant souls, understanding the norms may take a bit of unraveling.
But here it goes.
I am a descendant of an enslaved people.
Most of the enslavement was a direct result of chattel servitude not indentured servitude as many social constructs and systems so cavalierly offers.
So the extent to which companionship availed itself was a direct result of an individual's preference concerned none.
In fact selecting mates were stellar attempts to supplant the less fortunate, and bind one to the road of wealth, power, and prestige.
This was particularly true for those who were white, understood the system, and could manipulate it with impunity.
So endogenous approaches to male female interconnection, and I use this term in a communal sense in this instance, were widely practiced and functionally profitable.
These unions were carefully crafted, tightly choreographed and without sensitivity presented to maximize control and minimize decent; not to mention its awesome wealth building capacity.
Cultures have used both approaches endogamy and exogamy with varying degrees of "success.
" The ebb and flow of each concept was a direct result of the power structure under which it flourished.
But as many systems do in time, homogeneity gave way to heterogeneity, thus de-emphasizing how endogamy and exogamy were important concepts to consider.
This discriminate approach evolved into an indiscriminate means of courtship, marriage or the lack thereof, mate selection and an unprecedented rise in divorce rates.
As with many families of color, most attempted to hold to tradition but time has a way of eroding all things.
Family traditions, family beliefs, family values and family love provide structure and harmony, if it they are offered in love, grounded in faith and tethered to respect.
Rudimentary and fundamental precepts form through the family conceptual process.
These precepts mean everything to me, and I would not change them for "all the tea in China.
