Jon has a good point about Hocker not being that famous.
I also think the fact that the theme for this year's Gala - Superfine: Tailoring Black Style - certainly didn't help increase the odds that a white guy from Indiana not known for fashion would be invited.
Distance runners in general aren't known for their style. Maybe Josh Kerr.
It's a left wing DEI event. Of course he wasn't there. Yared is more likely to get an invite.
And yet Yared wasn't invited and no one was put out. Yet you people with your DEI interests want someone white to attend who has no cultural significance. Some of you people are so darn strange.
Cole is a white middle distance runner. Isn’t the racial - ethnic issue answering your question? They are all black Americans. What connection is there - no same events, no same culture , no same race.
Cole is White. Why would a bunch of virtue signalers and Usual Suspects want him there?
When a dog and/or kid gets touched we all know who the usual suspects are. Cole is a nobody outside of the 500 people that watches him race.
I live in Brooklyn, the rebbes hit kids 10 times more than priests. Is that who you’re talking about? (Check the stats with the FBI - it’s a mess in NY)
I wonder how many people who attended the Met Gala have actually stepped foot inside the museum to see the art. In a sense, they are all getting played because they spend a bunch of money to fund this museum and don't realize the curators couldn't care less about their stupid fashion statements.
***this goes for all celebrities. I am not participating in the racist back-and-forth above.
