If you believe they are rewriting slavery here, you're kinda missing the point of their marketing strategy. Ancestry.com commercials always push the idea that if you come to them you may find something fantastic and unique in your background. That's the whole point here. A white dude falling in love with a slave and whisking her away to freedom would be an amazing familial legacy precisely because it's not something that happened very often.
Dumb commercial IMO, but not what people are claiming it is.

SMH I ain't even going to argue about it. That was a black history month commercial. They were stupid to make it. They pulled it because they realized it was stupid. The end.
If ya'll want to believe this is part of some plot to make everyone think slavery in america was a romantic endeavor, have at it.

Their other slogan of "So You're a Slave Descendant and light skinned? Find out who raped you!!" didn't test too well either...

lol Fair point, but I wouldn't put it past them having a commerical focused around some German pretending to be a Nazi to help Jews escape.
They aren't selling historical textbooks. They are selling DNA tests. African Americans in a lot of cases have around a ~20% European admixture. They were trying to represent that with this commercial. They chose to go this route, and this is about what you'd expect from a marketing team that probably has no blacks on it. However, if they were going to make a commercial that gave the most likely explanation for that admixture it would have had a slave owner pulling a slave woman into a hut and raping her. That wouldn't have sold any DNA kits.

Most black people don’t want to see this though. It’s disrespectful.

You right. Seems obvious to us, but amazingly these companies keep paying people a lot of money to put out dumb shit like this.

I was here
Basically because as they explained it's not like they have a database of the world's DNA. No their database consists of people who have already sent in their DNA, so this one lady was told she only had 2% Indonesian... because the test pool had 24 people which is puny.
So yeah after hearing that podcast I was like yeeep, just a Gov site to get your DNA. Look how psycho the guy on ancestory looks, those eyes are freaky af
