Valid point or nah?

We as people all understand that racism still exists in many forms. It’s a problem that likely never be completely solved, yet we’ve grown as a society that we realize that racism is a cancer that helps no one. Accusing someone of being racist is very touchy, especially without evidence to back it up. It’s such a powerful subject matter that the accusation could put a black-eye on the accused. It appears that’s exactly what Dallas McCarver is attempting against veteran bodybuilder Shawn Ray.

After critiquing Dallas McCarver’s physique, Shawn Ray has been under fire. McCarver as well as many fans have simply summed up Ray’s critique as malicious hatred, perhaps even jealousy. But it seems that McCarver has gone a step further and has accused Shawn Ray of potentially discriminating against Caucasian bodybuilders. Below is a snippet of what McCarver had to say from his Facebook account.

For the entire post, take a look below.

While racism is surely still a serious problem, Dallas McCarver saying this could really hurt Shawn Ray’s stock. But it could also hurt the young bodybuilder’s stock as well. He has no evidence to back up his claim and making an accusation like this without any grounds could end up backfiring in the long run. Tensions and passions are high, so it’s understandable that some things are going to be said that are driven by emotion. Nevertheless, Dallas McCarver should be cautious about how he wants to proceed with this issue. While he doesn’t have to agree with Shawn Ray or his assessment of his physique, to accuse an all time great of playing favorites is pretty inflammatory. Showcasing the evidence of his words will go a long way to validating his statements.
