If I actually work up the guts to go through with this, the worst-case scenario is that I get banned from half of my favorite websites; this is probably less likely than I am imagining, but more likely than those who contest this would think.
I am stuck with these facts: I want to share the truth, I do not want to hurt anyone, the truth hurts, and hurt people are likely to want revenge.
***
Part one of the truth. There is no way to escape the fires of hell except through the salvation given by the crucified and resurrected Jesus Christ. This is the most hurtful, and most important, truth to share; for these reasons, I am glad I got it out of the way first. I'd rather die than shy away from this declaration in any way.
***
Part two of the truth. All men are created by God, and endowed by their Creator with equal value. A man with ebony-toned skin is not a more valuable person than a pale or pasty man. A female man (or "woman") is not more valuable or important than a male man (simply called a "man"). A man with a small amount of earthly posessions is not, by virtue of this, more virtuous than a man with many earthly posessions.
While no person I have ever known would argue any of these above points in the opposite direction, any person doing so would be both going against our modern culture's flow and wrong at the same time. A person's value comes from being made in the image of God, and is neither increased nor diminished by any of the above or similar factors.
Though equal in value, people with differing factors can be different in quality; that is, to be a woman is different in a tangible way from being a man, to have darker skin or lighter hair is different from having lighter skin or darker hair, and to be smart is different from being stupid.
***
Part three of the truth. No matter what, where, or when your experiences may have been, my experience with the world is to treat anyone who is any of male, caucasian, and Christian worse than someone who is different in any of these ways.
I know that the above double-standards have not always applied here, and have for long times and in many places been applied in reverse. This does not change the truth, which is that all these things are still wrong. Applying a new and opposite double-standard as revenge for the old one that has been removed is wrong.Men are stupid, lazy, filthy animals who would be at a complete loss were it not for the glorious and divine goddess that is WOMAN. In all things where men and women differ (in general or by definition), all things where men are stronger than women are to be ignored while any way women are stronger than men is to be constantly emphasized. Denying this is considered sexist.
Caucasians are expected to be racist, unless they declare some or all other phenotypes superior to themselves. Any "white" person who is well-off is considered to only be that way because he or his ancestors were given an advantage over other groups in the past, or because he is a thief and stole his success from someone else. Saying any different is racist.
No member of a minority phenotype who is poor can be such because of his own laziness, folly, or stroke of bad luck; caucasians must be to blame on every level for every such individual. No member of a non-caucasian phenotype can be racist against his own or any other group. Denial is racism.
Dare to declare the love of the God of Israel? That is hate speech, my friend. However you word your belief in the ever-loving God, it is considered to be hatred. Only by denying the Gospel with silence or embracing some other faith will your beliefs be respected. Christianity is a religion that brings war, hatred, poverty, oppression, and strife. To say any faith outside of Judeo-Christianity does any of these things, or that Christianity does not, is narrow-minded religious bigotry.

Part four of the truth. I will accept that, perhaps, my whole life experience comes from too narrow a source. I could be wrong on these things as current trends, the way I happen to have missed all the RPGs with white-haired prettyboys as villains and kindly teenage girls as healing mages.
I know what I have experienced, at any rate. I feel the desire to fight back and lash out against these things. I feel a tug at my soul to do and say very unpleasant things to any black or Hispanic person I see because I have put up with so much of the positive stereotyping of all other groups at the expense of negatively stereotyping the group I allegedly belong to (and a similar thing on a smaller scale towards women). I do not, must not, and will not act on this; if I did start acting on these feelings, I would be engaging in exactly the type of revenge-fueled prejudice I hate most.
