49. I had to vote offended because you asked
whenever I have read your name, I have associated it with the incredibly racist movie Birth of a Nation. I was always shocked to see the title and wondered if you were mocking racism or just what the deal was. I never saw you make any racist comments so I was very confused, but always offended at the thought that you were mocking racism and making a joke of it. Heyy! You did ask.
So please explain to me what the other meaning is. I do not understand your other references to gay & lesbian television stuff. Can someone educate me with a link to what's going on? I feel clueless. At least now I know that I SHOULDN'T be offended by your name.

To those who militantly responded against anyone taking offense, don't be ridiculous! If I walked around with a very offensive screen name like "I hate...." you fill in the blanks, I'd be making a statement and would of course offend .....
