Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate has called out racism in media after she was cropped out of a photo featuring prominent climate activists including Greta Thunberg, Loukina Tille, Luisa Neubauer and Isabelle Axelsson.

“Why did you remove me from the photo? I was part of the group”, she tweeted in response. Other agencies, including Reuters, misidentified Nakate as Zambian activist Natasha Mwansa. Reuters’ currently available version of the photograph identifies the other four activists in the picture but not Nakate.

In the viral video, Nakate elaborated on what she considers the erasure of black and brown voices in conversations surrounding climate change, pointing out that people who look like her are most vulnerable to rising global temperatures.
“We don’t deserve this. Africa is the least emitter of carbons, but we are the most affected by the climate crisis,” she said. “You erasing our voices won’t change anything. You erasing our stories won’t change anything.”

Because Africa is the least developed, poorest and most backward continent on the planet by far, not because Africans are more environmentally pristine
This whole imbroglio simply emphasizes that the entire issue, from the standpoint of the left, is all about image, not fact. The scientific questions (and answers) are the same whether they have three, four, or five stooges posing in a publicity stunt, no matter what their color or mix of colors. But the virtue signaling goes all to hell if they don’t get that kind of crap right - especially if their wokeness is revealed to have holes in it.
I only see evil in those faces!

The presence of the tall, good looking, smiling African diminishes scoldilocks in every possible way. That’s what the leftist media warriors mean when they say “reasons of composition”.

Instead it can be due to Uganda being blacklisted because of its refusal to salute the flag of Sodom as required by the MSM to be recognized in a positive light. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Uganda
I need to console “boo hoo” girl.
I thought that was the “Welcome Refugees” photo. :)
Racism???
How about SEXISM.....ALL FEMALES!!!
This is hilarious.
Leftists being bitten by their own racism police.
Isn't that the truth.
I'm neither 'black' nor 'brown' yet i find your bleatings tiresome.
Why would Nakate want to be in a photo with a gang of Hitler youth plotting another final solution?
It’s her own fault. Girl be all like, “Damn, they white birches be all leanin’ in like they tight, an’ here I am all like ‘damn, they be excludin’ me.’ (Should I photobomb them? Nah, I’m better than that. I’ll just stand off to the side.)
Maybe she threw off the white balance?
Boo-boo Girl always make me smile.
Notice only Greta has her arms folded and while it may be covered up she is the only one without a name tag showing.
Admittedly it’s got to suck being cropped out of a published photo which you do want to be part of.
Pissing off loyal followers for petty reasons does not help your cause.
Why was she wearing a winter jacket?
It’s GLOBAL WARMING you idiot.
