It started already.That's why books are important. They constantly change the narrative. By 2040' slavery would have been a "9to5"
LolIf 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.
LolCan’t wait to see the Jewish girl/Nazi soldier love story. Oh wait..

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

Because.........they're not giving a fuck about where you're from they're creating a DNA database that stupid people are paying for companies to own your DNA.Listened to a podcast on Science Vs about genealogy tests(the other day) and how accurate they are etc, theyre not and should not be taken as such.
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.Because.........they're not giving a fuck about where you're from they're creating a DNA database that stupid people are paying for companies to own your DNA.
