Why - IN THIS SAME POST - are you saying that someone needs to have the last word, and then say you believe in 50-50 relationships?
Hawaii is different, yes. Texas is also different. So is New York, and California. The US of A is a mix of cultures. To say that my culture makes me different from you, and you apparent ideal USA culture, is a little... well, ignorant.
... You're a counselor. So? I seriously can't make the connection. Is there a requirement of counselors to read modern-day discourses on sexuality?
EDIT: Actually, let me go into a little more detail about different cultures.
Being from the USVI makes me different from you. That's definitely true. However, you've suggested that my culture makes me so different from you that I can't imagine what it's like to be an American. I'm an American citizen. My experiences as a West Indian is American. You have, in effect, said that my culture either DOES NOT COUNT as an American experience or that there is an ideal American culture - what it is, I don't know - that I somehow DO NOT FIT. I'll say it again: that's ignorant. Very, very ignorant.
I've had enough of being a second-class citizen of the USA. I definitely don't need to experience BS ignorance on my culture and my heritage on some Internet forum too.

I wasn't going to answer any more of your questions, because you won't change my opinion and I won't change yours (if you are happy with it I wouldn't want to).
As I see it, you are a black female, with a sexual idenity crisis who is very angry. Get over it. As far as being a second class anything, you and you alone are responsible for allowing yourself to feel that way.
