![]() Yes he will be mother to the motherlessī. Understand yes God provides all your needsĪ. But truth be told no matter how spiritual you are from time to time you will need help from someone on earth. You and I come to church and sing songs like as long as I got King Jesus I don’t need nobody else.Ī. If I ask for help they’ll know I’ve sinned before If I ask for help they will thinks I’m weakį. If I ask for help they’ll know I don’t have it all togetherĮ. If I let you help me you’ll change my ideasĭ. If I let you help me you may replace meĬ. If I let you help me you’ll steal my gloryī. For various reasons we don’t allow others close to us in the church. It actually is space one of them is refusing to cover The space in between appears to be ground that needs to be coveredī. I’m blessed forget about everybody else.Ī. This society within the black community that suffers from this epidemic called the crab out the barrel syndrome is called the church! To many people have the attitude of I’m saved and that’s all that matters. The crab in the barrel syndrome is when a group of people pull one another down preventing anyone from making it to the top! But the crab out the barrel syndrome is when one of us sneaks out and makes it to the top but instead looking back to help he turns his back and run. But I dare say that within our own society exist another society and it has an epidemic worse than the crab in the barrel syndrome and it is called the crab out the barrel syndrome! This epidemic has very creatively been called the crab in the barrel syndrome. When will we stop killing one another for a crumb off of the piece of the pie? We have turned on one another so much that it has become an epidemic. To this day we sit around wondering when will we receive our 40 acres and a mule, when will we receive reparations from slavery, when will we not have to defend and fight for affirmative action, when will our country accept us and stop systematically denying us of our human rights? I hate to be the one to break the news to you but the answer is never! The question is when will we as a people stop hurting our own for a chance at success. We have been abused, overlooked degraded and misused so much that our faith in humanity is nonexistent. This is particularly true in the black community because we as a people have been let down so many times. ![]() Because we live in a dog eat dog world, a society that that says you better get yours, a world that is constantly asking what’s in it for me we walk around with our defenses up not accepting and not giving help to anyone. If there is one thing that is certain to instill fear in the average person today it is the thought of having to call on someone else for help.
