As the world watched Donald Trump's second swearing-in ceremony, a significant coincidence was not lost on many - the fact that it took place on Martin Luther King Day, a federal holiday that honors the life and achievements of the civil rights leader.
Singer Justin Bieber, who has been known to use his massive following to speak out on social issues, took to social media to share a poignant Martin Luther King Jr quote that seemed to be a subtle yet powerful rebuke of the new president.
The quote, which read 'Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that', was posted by Bieber on his Twitter account, where it quickly racked up thousands of likes and retweets.
Many fans praised the singer for using his platform to spread a message of love and unity, at a time when the country seemed to be more divided than ever. Some even interpreted the quote as a veiled criticism of Trump's divisive rhetoric and policies.
However, not everyone was impressed with Bieber's move, with some critics accusing him of being 'preachy' and 'out of touch' with his fans. But despite the backlash, Bieber's post was widely shared and sparked a lively debate about the role of celebrities in speaking out on social issues.
Meanwhile, Trump's inauguration ceremony was marked by protests and demonstrations across the country, with many expressing their opposition to the new president's policies and ideology. The fact that it coincided with Martin Luther King Day only added to the sense of irony and contradiction, as many Americans felt that Trump's presidency was a step backwards for the civil rights and social justice movement.
As the debate raged on, Bieber's quote served as a timely reminder of the importance of promoting love, acceptance, and inclusivity, and the need for Americans to come together and work towards a common goal. Whether or not his post was a direct rebuke of Trump, it was clear that the singer was using his platform to spread a message of hope and unity, at a time when it was needed most.
