Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Plaxico Burress Deviance and the Status Quo Narrative

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomburg has jumped in head first into The Plaxico Burress Shooting incident. With his sanctimonious pronouncements of the full weight of the law coming down on Plaxico Burress, the New York Giants wide receiver who during the Thanksgiving weekend allegedly shot himself in the leg.

There is this amnesiac streak of the status quo narrative in American society when it concerns Black behavior and the Burress incident again exposes it's racist underbelly.

I have one response: It is time every single American life, from post puberty is subjected to microscopic scrutiny and the full weight of Bloomburgian "law" brought to bear. Because this hypocrisy of selective ire and persecution of social deviance by Black citizens at the audacious expense of white collar and corporate crime, the deviance by American Political-Economy elities and it's consequential travesty of "Governmental Bail-Outs", requires a materialist narrative.
