This will probably piss someone off but this ancestry.com commercial pisses me off. 

african american man saying how he knew his family had probably been slaves and acting like victim etc. 

It pisses me off when african americans these days make such a big deal that there great great great great great great even sometimes great grandparents were slaves(alittle dramatic) seriously i understand it was a terrible thing but honestly dont play victim when you were not a slave, not even close. yes people are still racist and there assholes but your not even CLOSE to a slave. 

You don’t see a Jew on there talking about the holocaust and how there great great grandparents were victim to that etc. no people don’t say stuff about that.

Im sorry but it pisses me off, i completely understand how terrible it was but honestly. is this wrong?

Um…yeah…yeah that’s…really wrong actually. 

Um, yeah, that’s pretty damn wrong.

And frankly, yes, I do hear Jewish people talking about the Holocaust, and how terrible it was. I do hear it. And I don’t think that’s a terrible thing, because the Holocaust was fucking horrible.

But why do you think it’s so awful for Black folks to talk about slavery? I bet I know…

[[ Slavery, btw, was also fucking horrible. ]]

What math is this dumb motherfucker doing? Two of my great grandparents were slaves. There is no 15 generation gap between the descendants of black American slaves and slavery. 1865 is not that long ago folks. And that’s before we get into Reconstruction & Jim Crow and the horrors that followed the end of legalized slavery.
