Czech President Milos Zeman said, “The slogan ‘Black Lives Matter’ is a racist slogan, because all lives matter,” in a speech delivered at the celebration of U.S. Independence Day at the American Embassy in Prague on June 30.
“I am here not only as an independent citizen, I am here also as a friend of America. ... And in both positions, I say that the slogan ‘Black Lives Matter’ is a racist slogan, because all lives matter,” Zeman said at the celebration.
