Look at the pictures of those 3 stylish people. Do you really think Cole would fit in wearing a camo maga hat with some structures?
so they don't want diversity?
Olympic gold medallists Gabby Thomas, Sha'Carri Richardson, Noah Lyles go to Met Gala - Cole Hocker snubbed?

Only 3 black people there except for the serving staff?

Look at you wanting someone to attend simply to satisfy your DEI interests. Only multiple medal winners who are culturally relevant were invited.
Yes, only blacks have culture and the usual suspects try to hijack cultures. lol
Look at you with your logical fallacy... Dude, it's never an all. Anyhow, you are a stauncher opponent of DEI yet want to use the same DEI to allow a white man in to a place he has not gain the merit to do so. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Apparently you don't because that was an absolutely clueless and uneducated statement.
On a side note, the only other track athlete that would have been a match for the Met would have been SML. It would be interesting to know if she was invited and declined or if never invited. Get on it Gault.

The dumbest post you’ve made yet. Check the history of the Met Gala. Probably 95% white up until 2018.

Merit? lol
You can’t grasp the meaning of merit when it comes to actual culture. lol
That guy has you pegged. Peddle your gibsmedat beliefs somewhere else.

Ignore the clods. “Culturally relevant” is a made up term that makes virtue signalers like the MET crowd feel like they’re down with the cause of the week. Never mind the dummies in the thread who keep using it to try and inflate their own egos because they realize they have no true culture of their own.
None of these people are relevant in the grand scheme of things. Hell, apparently Richardson can barely read so take from that what you will in terms of culture. Also, proofread. You seem to suffering from fumble thumbs.41 -
Simple it’s called racist. You’re allowed to say hatful things against whites but not blacks.

This isn't hard. Noah, Gabby, and Sha'Carri are all much more famous than Cole.
All of them were in SPRINT. Lyles won the biggest race in the sport, always dresses up for athlete walk-ins, and has a big personality. Gabby Thomas did a ton of post-Olympic media and was on the cover of Vogue in January. Sha'Carri is Sha'Carri.
Cole is a perfectly nice guy but has historically kept a pretty low profile. Rather than dwelling on why he didn't get an invite, I'd instead say that it's a good sign that three track athletes were deemed "culturally relevant" enough to be invited.
Good points, but I disagree to some extent. Most of the track and field celebrities throughout the years have been sprinters. The media hardly ever celebrates distance runners. We don't know whether Cole was actually invited or not, but he probably wasn't due to the fact that the media does nothing to promote the accomplishment of distance runners. They want to keep them in the box of either being white and nerdy like Cole or as an African overcoming obstacles like Eliud Kipchoge and Lopez Lomong. Nick Symmonds had the personality and charisma to be invited to these celebrity events, but he still wasn't because he wasn't a sprinter and didn't fit the image the media wants to promote for track stars.
