Shyt don’t make sense. I just started a new job and I been working like a mf dog. 0730 and I don’t leave til 4 sometimes 5.

I wanna make a good first impression, bc lord knows the old me was on some bullshyt. I was lazy as fukk and quit or left every other job or internship I had. Now I’m turning 24 im tryna change my ways

But I had some senior ppl be like:ld:slow down you working too much. But I keep getting tagged with side projects. A Nikka can’t barely do the job I was initially hired to do.

I see cacs around my pay grade, talking that shyt like “Idk why you volunteering, that ain’t gon get you no where:childplease:” They always playing the back on some hoe shyt. You know we gotta work twice as hard so I breh tryna hold it down.

Where’s the line brehs I’m conflicted:to:

You need to abandon that mindset Youngblood
What you mean?

I had a handful of black guys/girls tell me that. I walk into a brief and they already assume I don’t know shyt. Asking me about my undergrad degree, questioning it (even though I went to an HBCU in Atlanta) damn near black Ivy League.

You saying to just do the same amount of work everyone doing?

Damned if you do damned if you don't. Just make sure you're only doing your job. My advice is to get off that superman shyt. People gone expect that from you forever, and at some point you're going to start telling them to do their own shyt and they'll call you lazy for wanting to just do your specific job. And people see you working extra hard they gone sabotage you, they're not going to be inspired to work harder. All of this is on the assumption you're a breh.

Nahh you're correct. As a black person in a white supremacist system, you certainly do have to exert yourself more in order to be given the same level of accolades and esteem as a white person.
