[edit] crabs-in-the-barrel
Also known as: Crab Bucket Syndrome and “bucket of crabs” (ie. “like a . . .”)
The “crabs-in-the-barrel” theory refers to a group of people who discourage or attempt to sabotage the success of another member of the group, causing a cycle of failure. The term is based on the belief that crabs placed in an open barrel will not escape because they will pull each other down, each crab attempting to be on top, meaning none of the crabs will succeed in escaping.
This theory is often used in reference to members of a once or currently oppressed social class who are unable to encourage or accept the achievements of a similarly disadvantaged person.
[edit] Controversy in African-American Usage
In the study of post-colonial and post-slavery African or African-American communities, it has been suggested that a “crabs-in-the-barrel” mentality has created a cycle of failure. This belief is controversial and has been both supported and discouraged among scholars, as there are have been strong examples of both supportive and dysfunctional black communities over history.
In a May, 2001 article for Ebony magazine Lerone Jr. Bennett, refutes the theory in relation to African-Americans, saying that the general idea of black family brotherhood is what helped slaves survive years of mistreatment.
New theories on “slave-mentality” such as “post-traumatic slave syndrome” coined by Dr. Joy DeGruy-Leary, suggests however that generations of slavery and racial oppression, with little opportunity to heal has caused some African-American communities to perpetuate feelings of helplessness and self-loathing, which can lead to expressions of anger directed at oneself as well as others. Communities that suffer from this issue would find it diffcult to encourage success, which may explain the supposed cycle of failure or “crabs-in-the-barrel” notion that exists in such communities.

[edit] Kelly[edit] Michael Mottola[edit] Michael Mottola[edit] Omaima NelsonOmaima Nelson (maiden name Omaima Aref)born in 1968 and had lived on the prifery of "the city of the dead" in Cairo as a child.She was one of eight children in her family and was raped at ten and then again at eighteen,she was also physically abused from a young age. She moved to America in 1986 to escape her home life in Cairo for a young american however their relationship did not last long. In the autumn of 1991 she met William Nelson who was 33 years her senior, but nonetheless they fell in love. William was an ex-convict in jail for drug trafficking and tax-evasion, however was polite and kind to Omaima, she had said to her close friends "It was really nice, he was a gentleman". They were married on the first of November 1991 however after only four weeks of marriage something went terribly wrong. On december first at 9:15 am Omaima went round John Popovich's house and explained to him that she had been abused and raped by her husband. She had cuts up and down her body and marks around her wrists from being tied up by her husband. After hours of tending to her wounds and listening to her story at 2:05 pm John had no choice but to call the police. Officer Danny Hogue, former member of the homicide department, arrived half an hour later and began to question Omaima on the days events. She told the officer that her husband was now on a bussiness trip to Florida and she was not sure when he would return. Officer Hogue then, due to the nature of the report, asked to search her Corvette, in the boot of the car he found a black plastic bag, in which he found meat and internal organs which he could not tell whether they were animal or human. omaima claimed that someone was trying to set her up but officer Hogue realised the gravity of the situation and left one officer with Omaima and John whilst he went to search the Nelson apartment for evidence. Finding no answer at the house he forced his way into the front door, the handle of which was bloodstained. Inside he found boxed and black plastic bags in each room suggesting that someone was going to move out, the clothes hamper was filled with a bloodstained sheet and there was a large butchers knife in the kitchen sink. Hogue immediately secured the premises and called for back up on Frank Rudisill, for a case of "possible" homicide. They picked up Omaima Nelsonfrom John Popovich's house and took her for an interview at the police station in which she told them a story which was nearly incomprehensible, due to the pace and wavering of her speech. She added and removed details from her story of rape and voluntarily removed her clothes to show the detectives her wounds. she stated that she had also given a man a lift to the laundrette and he may have been the one who had left the bag in her boot. Later on in the day John popovich was called in for questioning, he said that Omaima had told him that she had killed her husband. He said that she had tols him that he had been trying to rape her but she got her hand free and hit him over the head with a lamp and then persisted to stab him with a kitchen knife. she had then cut his body into pieces and then asked Popovich to dispose of the parts and clean up the apartment fo $75,000 and two motorcycles. She denied this to the detectives and added that she had recieved a threatening call telling her to look in her kitchen and asking whether she wanted any hamburger. Omaima started to breakdown at the apartment yelling that William Nelson had cut up women before and that he had made her really ugly by cutting her. They concluded the interview at 10:00pm that night and then procceded to check the bins outside the Nelson's flat. They found more plastic bags which they opened to find in one human legs severed at the knee and in another human male genitals. In a cardboard box wrapped in newspapers thay found a pair of severed human hands which had been cooked in oil to remove the fingerprints, the left ring finger had been hacked off also. There was blood on the underside of the mattress of the main bed and shoes placed over all the bloodstains on the carpet. They searched the freezer and found William Nelson's head frozen behind packets of peas, it had been lightly cooked as the jaw was charred and scalped. Omaima Nelson was arrested at 5:55pm on the 2nd of December under suspicion of murder. the neighboors stated that they had heard the garbage disposal running all night and "chopping" moises from the apartment. It was later confessed by Omaima that she had been the one to start the agressive assault between husband and wife and had eventually beaten William to death with an iron. She also told a psychiatrist that she had worn all red to disect her husband as she was obsessed with the colour of his blood. Ob the stand she told the judge of her painful circumsision at the age of six without aneasthesia. It was later found that there was about 130 pounds of William Nelson missing wehich Omaima later confided to a psychiatrist that she had cooked and eaten with a barbeque sauce saying "i like him tender". There was insufficient evidence to put her down for first degree murder however they convicted her of second degree murder and the assault of another man named Orville Whittaker a year earlier. She was sent to jail for 27 years to life and will not be released until well into the 21st century [edit] SourcesWomen who kill Viciously edited by Mike James 84.65.151.159 10:00, 3 February 2007 (UTC) [edit] Night of Decades[edit] Gifted[edit] Rodolfo Lana Jr.[edit] Ian Cutler[edit] Perspective on Teresa of Avila[edit] Infodrops Consulting[edit] Bratz: Fashion Pixiez (album)[edit] Small Island Productions[edit] Falling Sand Game[edit] Guju Soc[edit] Intercollegiate Tennis Association[edit] Ohio University Cuts Varsity Sports[edit] Word transparence[edit] IBEC[edit] J.M.
