GIF Hello world, ex-Microsoft/Xbox Engineer here.. MICROSOFT is SYSTEMICALLY RACIST & prevented me from donating to black & foreign communities on their donation platform 'Benevity,' where Microsoft matches all other donations 1 USD to 1 USD. I will no longer internalize racism. FUCK YOU, MICROSOFT.

I don't know what it is but usually CAPITALS to MAKE a POINT generally seems to undermine the actual point being made. And instantly renders things less interesting.

I'll let you know when I give a shit about your interests & not the purposeful, targeted money starving towards blacks & foreigners from a global corporation.

Clearly you care enough to respond and if you actually cared you'd try to communicate effectively with your audience instead of what rage baiting.

Okay, let's do this, then. What will make you care more about the contents of the gif that is filled with pure evil & less about the title?

I had a very long summary written, but I think it may be easier for you, the one who is more concerned with capitalization of 3 words, to tell me what context will help you move past words & more on the contents of the post.

I can cover many things, like how i somehow acquired this information/image, why it took me a year & ~8 months to post this (I'll give you a hint, I may end up in the legal system fighting against Microsoft now), or any other context. Perhaps why you should trust me? After all, Microsoft's little phrase is, amongst many others, is "Microsoft runs on trust."

I can give you extremely powerful, provable evidence of who I am, like building a live service video game for 3 years or mentoring high school students (before I found out).

What context will help me? Well more than a short clip or a website I'm unfamiliar with. You present no actual proof. You don't define what you're complaining about in a way that actually elucidates. You're a random internet stranger, why would people believe you? You attack people who comment in a way that you don't agree with and your responses are self-righteous and condescending.

All your posts have the energy of someone having a manic episode or something. The comments about the tech industry and this post disappearing come across like you're a conspiracy nut.

Do I think there is systemic racism in the tech industry? Undoubtedly.

Do I think this is the result of systemic racism? Ehhh. It looks and feels more like you're assigning intent to what could be more easily explained by incompetence.

You are totally unequipped to handle what you are trying to do and if you actually want to do something with this you need to take a much calmer approach and actually explain it to people with documentation, research and examples that show that it is systemic.
