From Clay Travis:

They investigated an old bell on campus and determined the bell was once used on a plantation 200 years ago. So they removed the bell and placed it in storage because using it today would be racially insensitive. This is absolutely insane.

There is a hundred other ways to POSITIVELY work this situation. Instead,,, they chose a Passive Loser path,,

heres an idea,, lets Sell the bell at auction, and take the money and donate it to Local charity?? BOOM,, now we are recognizing it and moving forward in a positive way,

The only way to GET OVER IT,, is to MOVE ON,,, and love each other in a positive way,, FOREVER apologizing for bullshit?? lolol,, that NOONE ON THIS GDAM PLANET has had 1 FK THING to do with that BELL for well over 150 years??

haha,,, what the fk is there any reason to apologize?

Where does this end Chop?

Tulane U is probably located on the former grounds of a plantation? Should be tear it up?

What about the homefield of your Saints? Was that previously a plantation location? Let's tear it down.

The shit has to end man. I mean, can you imagine a bunch of retards charged with studying the history of a fucking bell to see if it was once rung on a plantation? Is that what people have time to do?

These sorts of things are stupid and I bet Stock is in here either defending Lil' Mobby or whining that people's feelings needed to be considered when they're in college.

It doesn't matter that nobody in the U.S. now has ever experienced slavery or know anybody that has. Let's just cry over a stupid fucking bell that's been on campus since 1961. This is the stupidity and softness of these college kids.

Stock the ball sniffer always milling around like a rat on the subway platform. Nothing original ever to say I assume. Just a rodent looking for meat as sloppy seconds.

If it is “just a bell,” get a different bell. But don’t use one that is now known to have signaled to slaves that it was time to work.

Christ, how hard is that to understand?

Such a great point you forced me to make another post in this thread .

Yes it’s just a bell.

Im sure they can replace that bell with another one .

At this point if they were to keep the bell it would be the ultimate slap in the face to all the people it offends .


And to say these people that are offended are soft is nonsense .

If your ancestors were slaves would you enjoy people ringing the same exact bell after winning a basketball game as the one they rang for your great grandpa when it was time for him to be rounded up like an animal to pick cotton ?

Come on dude .
This thread is ridiculous

Haha, like you know this to be true lol. Such a liberal response. You have no idea what the bell was used for and neither do they. It's been there since 1961 ringing after the victories of Tulane basketball so, it's been rang a total of about 10 times.

Investigating the genealogy of a fucking bell haha. This is what our tax dollars are being spent on. And you think this is normal. Let me repeat, they investigated the genealogy of a bell.

I hope you and they realize Mr. Paul Tulane was the largest contributor to the Confederate States of America in New Orleans but yeah, let's worry about the genealogy of a bell.

You make a great point Chop. It most likely offended 3 students just like things on Twitter offend three people but universities, companies and sports teams give into a very small minority who scream the loudest.

They removed a racist bell haha.

And guess what? I just read the entire university is located on an old plantation just west of New Orleans. Tear it down Chop. Tear it down. And students wonder why tuition expenses are so high? It's because we have five goofballs investigating the genealogy of a bell.
