  • "I’ll let you into a secret, everyone at Ernst & Young … want to see you dead.

    … who really cares, no one cares about you black cunts. Well some nigger in the New York office might, but they are only there because of positive discrimination, really they cant write, read, count or spell so what use are they in an accounting firm?"
