Czech President Milos Zeman has criticized the Black Lives Matter movement, calling the name “racist,” and instead asserts that “all lives matter.”
During a speech in a visit to the United States Embassy, President Zeman said, “I say that the slogan ‘Black Lives Matter’ is a racist slogan because all lives matter.” He also criticized the wanton destruction left behind by “the riots on the streets, the burning of the cars, destroying of statues in both countries,” according to Straits Times.
The Czech president went onto compare the movement’s dystopian watchful eyes to Big Brother in George Orwell’s 1984, according to Kafkadesk.
He added, “We need free thinking, we need common sense. I do not need any new Big Brother.”
The recent Black Lives Matter protests culminated in violence and vandalism throughout the Western World.
