As dangerous gangs of frothing alt-leftists and angry minorities continue to gather and erase so much precious Caucasian history by destroying the bronze and concrete testaments to this comically misplaced nation’s pride in the embittered losers of the Civil War and other assorted failed bozos, something’s got to replace them. Here are five suggestions for statues of Oklahoma heroes, personal and otherwise, that I would like to see casting long shadows in our parks, government parking lots, roadside memorials and anywhere else a reminder of this country’s true history is needed. ¡Cómpralo ya!

Clara Luper
There is a memorial to civil rights icon Clara Luper on the east side of the I-235 off ramp on N.E. 23rd Street. At best it looks like an oversized tribute to fire-hydrants, located mere feet from an underpass where even angels fear to tread. Luper, who bravely led non-violent lunch-counter sit-in protests here in Oklahoma City until segregation policies were overturned, deserves so much more than that admittedly nondescript plug of concrete. I’d like to see a big, expensive bronze memorial of her and possibly a few members of the NAACP Youth Council she protested with, prominently standing on a downtown median, purposefully ready to cross into an area diner, deservedly ready to ruin some modern-day racist’s lunch hour.
