For Burris, the South is a magnifying glass for society's downfalls. White Boys! satirically examines Southern culture and the power of white men in political and religious roles as well as various other stereotypes and notions of cultural identity. Issues such as the perpetuation of the 'church of ignorance is bliss' by preachers and politicians alike, as well as the fascination with violent crime and how criminals become "stars", are layered in his unique and complex blend of storytelling and colorful cacophony. These works contain crude phrases and stereotypical images illustrating themes found in local newspapers and celebrated in back road folk signage. The result is often shocking and, at times, humorous yet makes one question the impetus of such work as well as the modems facilitating the continuation of these cultural norms.
