(Intro) Wale-Ambition ft Meek Mill and Rick Ross. 

Today, we discuss my personal experiences dealing with this "Crabs In A Barrel" mentality. As well as connecting my earlier experience with crabs and connecting that with our community. Crabs in a barrel "If I can't have it, neither can you."The metaphor is derived from a pattern of behavior noted in crabs when they are trapped in a bucket. Will it ever end? When one crab is in a barrel, it can easily climb out no problem. But when you have many crabs in a barrel they latch on to other crabs to help pull themselves up but instead they end up just pulling each other all down and eventually die. The barrel is a condition/ obstacle, the crabs can easily escape if they work together. My overall message is togethernessunity and wholeness. We are most powerful when united, in the 1960's we were the most united, most married, most successful. Black everything, black schools, black hospitals, black banks, etc. Obviously, crabs don't belong in the barrel but in the ocean where they are free, but that's not the state of the culture. This has been a well-known “syndrome” in the Black community.
