To the part of society being affected, the issue delivers a sour feeling and creates a bitter gas to fuel an internal fire. Take systemic racism, an issue that is looked over unless it’s affecting you; an issue that is unknown to the ones who aren’t affected.

You always see them at family junctions, and maybe one or two people eat them, but there will always be one left. Violence surrounding societal issues has very similar aspects. Once an issue is over ripe and has had the bitter fuel, it feeds the internal blazes within the affected proportion. All it takes is a spark and violence arises. The media takes a hold of the violence like the overripe apples and oranges. They can transform it into whatever they want; the media chooses what dessert they are going to make. Everyone's attention warms over the desserts when they are first brought in,
