Forget about the racism, Primary Source's "satire", Oh Come All Ye Black Folk is offensive for two primary reasons:
1. It doesn't scan
2. It isn't funny
In fact, none off their mock carols are funny (this is what an exclusive education gets you? Feeble parody?) Hoover and Greene should apologize for wasting our time:
O Come All Ye Black Folk
Boisterous yet Desirable
O come ye, O come ye to our University
Come and we will admit you,
Born in to oppression;
O come let us accept them,
O come let us accept them,
O come let us accept them,
Fifty-two black freshman.
O Sing, gospel choirs,
We will accept your children,
No matter what your grades are, F's, D's, or G's,
Give them all privileged status;
We will welcome all.
O come let us accept them,
O come let us accept them,
O come let us accept them,
Fifty-two black freshman.
All come! Blacks, we need you,
Born into the ghetto.
O Jesus! We need you now to fill our racial quotas.
Descendants of Africa, with brown skin arriving:
O come let us accept them,
O come let us accept them,
O come let us accept them,
Fifty-two black freshman.

Mean spirited, ignorant, lame
