True u can't be Malcolm X one minute and then the next minute be successful in Hollywood
Yep and you have to make a decision what you willing to do. I will never forget how my manager at one job made a comment about why I didn't have pictures at my desk. I blew him off and finally he came to me and was like say man you must not plan to be here long.
I look him in the eye and say well this a two way street right. Yall can fire me or I can leave. Anyway a year passes and he gets fired. I see the writing on the wall and also see some shady and racist shyt that I wasn't cool with. So I decide to leave the job.
Here is the kicker. I walked away and left a 35k bonus on the table. Yep walked the fukk away 2 months before my bonus. shyt was so shocking the sista that ran HR asked to talk to me outside of work cause she couldn't believe why I walked away.
But see brotha I had already made that decision to leave the first day I was hired. Cause the shyt is a two way street just like I said to my boss. I mentally drew a line in the sand and said I will only take this much worth of BS...anything over that and I am gone.
And thats how you have to live life with everything. Have that decision made up in your head at the beginning. Long as you can live with it and look in the mirror or look your family in the eye thats all that matters.
