nobody: ancestry dot com: how can we overly romanticize & create an irresponsible, ahistorical depiction of the relationship between white men & black women during the period of chattel slavery that completely disregards its power dynamics & the trauma of sexual exploitation?https://twitter.com/mannyfidel/status/1118941635679805440 …
it is so wild both that this depiction of such a "relationship" was ever approved for public consumption *and* that they treat the North as some sort of promisedland where they will be able to live happily ever after there were clearly no history books at this marketing meeting
But they're both hot, that's the important thing.
W H A T
@Ancestry that needs to be yanked and an apology needs to be given. I am a subscriber and I like your product, but that ad is gross and irresponsible, and I can’t support your product if it exploits harmful tropes to market itself.
I was going back and forth about whether to use Ancestry or 23 and Me. After seeing this, 23 and Me it is.
What the fuck?
Also, the notion that somehow in the north it would have been socially or legally acceptable for the two of them to “be together“ in an implicitly equal way is not only patently absurd but a grotesquely irresponsible historical distortion.
