Woke CNN Clowns Trash America 250 & The Declaration of Independence

Woke CNN anchor Victor Blackwell used his weekend program “First of All” to attack the Declaration of Independence claiming it is “soiled” by a racial slur targeting Native Americans ahead of the 250th celebration of America’s freedom. In the segment, Blackwell attempted to contrast the famous affirming that “all men are created equal” with a lesser-known passage condemning “merciless Indian Savages” as a threat on the frontier.

He told viewers that even he had only recently become aware of that section, arguing that Americans are taught to revere the document’s ideals while overlooking its explicit dehumanization of Indigenous people while dismissing the historical context of indians being used by the British to brutally attack American colonies including innocent women and children. Blackwell then introduced so-called Native American activist and writer Rebecca Nagle to discuss what the language of the Declaration has meant for Native communities over generations. Nagle said Americans are “programmed” to celebrate the Declaration’s lofty ideals without reckoning with what she described as the founders’ deep hatred for Indigenous people.

She argued that the phrase “merciless Indian Savages” helped justify violent policies and dispossession, and that its presence in a founding document continues to shape public attitudes toward Native nations. On social media, Nagle later noted that her appearance on “First of All” was intended to spotlight how a racial slur embedded in the Declaration still affects Native people today.

The discussion aired as the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of its founding, a milestone Blackwell said should prompt a fuller accounting of the country’s treatment of Native peoples. Blackwell emphasized that acknowledging the slur does not mean discarding the Declaration, but rather confronting the contradictions between its rhetoric of equality and the reality of exclusion.
