To wit, just as King was willing to sacrifice his life for equality, Bieber is willing to walk through flames for a kiss that could kill.

A lengthier segment from one of King's statements on civil disobedience leads to a song of devotion that seems to have been written after hours spent watching clips of early MTV (coincidentally when the channel's play list was zero-percent Black).

is twice used on this album that otherwise has nothing to do with justice.

No one was looking to Justin Bieber for a ruminative and nuanced view on race relations, but the singer made some choices here that aren't merely ineffectual.
