A blind eye

            I'm sure as of now just about everyone who has some sort of access to social media or T.V has heard about Justin Beiber and his "substance abuse" or reckless behavior or maybe the ridiculous acts of other celebrities in recent news. While i'm quite used to our society paying attention to irrelevant things such as these but at the recent news coverage they've given to the more fortunate around us is astounding and is why I feel our society has turned a blind eye. When I say blind eye I dont just mean toward paying attention to things that actually matter im talking about turning a blind eye toward any sort of intullectual though at all. For example when ever has a celebrity "who are allowed to get away with way more that we could" been such a big deal that CNN or any other national news network needs to mkae it a top story. Considering that there are still people fighting for their freedom,  fighting to eat, and just overall survive like in iraq, iran, georgia, many parts of northern africa, and even more so here in America. I grew up in neighborhoods where gang violence existed and people would die for all the wrong reasons and back then we had a lot of the fight political opression message in music back in the day you would see people on T.V talking about the things ariund us that actually mattered. However now there is no outlet to have that message heard and our outlets have been flooded and submerged by such one sided thinking that now all we hear about is celebrites and the problems with the one percenters and never how poverty and hunger not only affects us but everyone and I hope this changes but for now all we see is people turning a blind eye.
