Uh-oh. Do you see this? They're starting to brown. Why is this bad? The other side of the bananas is still green. How can a banana be both unripe and rotting? Is that what this fast-paced, rag-tag world does to them? And how is this a metaphor for America's children?

What you are describing is not uncommon. The phenomenon is known Bi-Polar Ripening Plantain Disorder, or BRPD, and is characterized by half of a banana ripening while the other half slowly degenerates. Left untreated, the ripening will spread throughout the entire banana.
Treatment options include cutting the banana in half as well as eating the raw half, eating the ripe half, and eating both halves. Talk to your doctor about what treatment option is right for you.
