Because the white guy is a good guy, not a bad guy.

The ad shows an early 1800s white man and a young black slave running away to the north. He offers her a wedding ring. That story line is not acceptable to today's woke leftists. Apparently you can only do an ad about the slave era if the white guy is beating and raping the black girl, not loving her.
