DNA testing service Ancestry pulls ad said to romanticize slavery.
DNA testing service Ancestry is pulling an ad after an online backlash accusing it of whitewashing history and rape.
"Abigail," the man says as he pulls her toward him and pulls out a ring. "We can escape to the North. There's a place we can be together, across the border. Will you leave with me?" After the scene fades to black, text on the screen appears, saying: "Only you can keep the story going." A voiceover then says, "Uncover the lost chapters of your family history with Ancestry.""Ancestry is committed to telling important stories from history," the spokesperson said. "This ad was intended to represent one of those stories. We very much appreciate the feedback we have received and apologize for any offense that the ad may have caused.
Critics say the ad glosses over slavery, an era in which female slaves wouldn't have been able to consent to sex with their owners.
