Are Social Issues Dismissable?

Are societal issues able to be dismissed by people in power because they and some others think that social issue isn't real or valid? Is it okay to censor and contain people being outraged at something that isn't being fixed because the superiors in society don't care or disagree? I saw something that inspired me to ask if it is okay for that to happen, whether all the time or occasionally.
