Microsoft's 2024 diversity and inclusion report highlights race- and sexuality-based programs dating back to the 1980s.The report begins with the chief diversity officer stating that the company's inclusivity mission aims to empower "every person and every organization on the planet" to achieve more. These vague platitudes were followed with a list of disturbing initiatives that started as early as 1985.This included naming a "diversity director," establishing a "minority student day," and even race-based employee groups such as "Blacks at Microsoft," all in the 1980s.Along with groups for gays, women, and Asians, Microsoft bragged that since 1989, it has been "promoting LGBTQIA+ inclusion."Between 1996 and 2006, Microsoft infused its progressive beliefs into politics by partnering with organizations like the United Nations and the Human Rights Campaign.The HRC is an adamant supporter of transgender surgeries for minors. Microsoft boasted that in 2005, it achieved a perfect score on the HRC's Equality Index."We donated over $1 million (including company match) to 220 nonprofits supporting LGBTQIA+ communities worldwide, totaling over $16.3 million in all-time donations to these organizations," Microsoft wrote.During this time period, Microsoft said it also offered "gender-affirming benefits" to U.S. employees.The report stretched its claims of inclusion by reporting on generic, nonspecific woke viewpoints within the company. For example, Microsoft reported that 83.5% of its employees agreed or strongly agreed that they have seen coworkers "demonstrate allyship in the workplace."Other statistics showed a 2.3% year-over-year increase in groupthink (78.9% to 81.2%) regarding "diversity" being "critical" to the company's success.'We believe gaming should be inclusive of all, accessible to all, and safe for all.'Some of Microsoft's other initiatives are even more troubling, including "hiring inclusively" and "supplier diversity."Described as partnerships that intend to "increase opportunities for communities," "diversity" in this sense is not really explained.Glenda Dengah, director of supplier diversity, is quoted as saying the supply program is about "cultivating enduring partnerships" from "the diverse communities we represent."Microsoft also claimed, using uncited research, that 71% of gamers think it's very important to have diverse characters and content. Again, these terms were not defined."We believe gaming should be inclusive of all, accessible to all, and safe for all," the company wrote.Despite this claim, diversity-driven games have failed to capture audiences, with several big-budget games tanking in 2024 within just days of their release.While the report was still published, it is important to note that Microsoft quietly laid off a diversity, equity, and inclusion team in July but insisted its commitment to diversity is "unwavering."Blaze News reached out to a spokesperson representing Microsoft to discuss what "hiring inclusively" means, what "supplier diversity" means, and where its video game-related research came from.The spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment despite initiating contact and sending the report.Like Blaze News?

In the summer of 2023, actor and musician Jamie Foxx came down with a mysterious illness that very nearly killed him. In July, after it was determined that he had narrowly escaped death, a pale, sickly-looking Foxx released a tearful video letting the public know that he was okay but traumatized. “I’ve been to hell and back,” he said, before thanking his family, medical team, and God. Foxx never would say what it was that nearly took his life, leaving many speculating that his illness was due to taking the COVID vaccine, which could not be questioned or criticized at the time due to the collusion between the federal government, Big Pharma, and Big Tech. The approved narrative was that Foxx had a stroke. However, a new story has since emerged. In the wake of Sean "Diddy" Combs' arrest, a celebrity bodyguard who goes by the name of Big Homie.CC has reported that Foxx’s near-death experience was due to Diddy poisoning him. Apparently, Foxx then reported him to the FBI. ¼ Black Garrett, Angela Boggs, and Derek Richards, filling in for Dave Landau, bring equal parts humor and analysis to the disturbing news. "‘In a shocking interview with Cam Capone News, celebrity bodyguard Big Homie, which by the way is the name on his driver's license in case you're curious, "made bold accusations against music mogul Diddy, alleging that Diddy poisoned actor Jamie Foxx,’” says Richards, reading from a report. In a YouTube video that dropped last week, Big Homie stated the following: “Well, I know [Diddy] poisoned Jamie Foxx, and Jamie Foxx reported him to the FBI because of it. I know that’s a fact.” When questioned whether Foxx’s mysterious illness was due to this alleged poisoning, Big Homie confirmed yes – Foxx’s 20-day stint in the hospital and three-month hiatus from the public eye was indeed a result of being poisoned by Combs. Angela then points to “Brittany Murphy and [Diddy’s] ex-wife,” Kim Porter, and several others who “have died of pneumonia who were involved with [Diddy].” “Actually one of the causes of pneumonia is breathing in baby oil,” she says. When Diddy’s home was raided by the FBI, 1,000 bottles of baby oil were found. Could it be that they were also poisoned by Diddy in a different way? “All my freak parties have coconut oil – organic from Whole Foods,” Richards jokes.
