crab represents unity, loyalty and self- sufficiency. Most of us heard the saying
" Black ppl hold each other down like crabs in a barrel. "
In their natural habitat which ain't a barrel, crabs don't pull each other down they pull each other up. When a female crab is molting or shedding her exoskeleton the male crab covers and protects her until her new shell hardens again. The male crab will neglect food to stay with the female crab until her shell hardens again in two to three days.
When you put crabs or people in a unnatural environment like a barrel, or dilapidated housings then the result will be poorer health outcomes and internal conflicts
