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 dont 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 wont change anything. You erasing our stories wont change anything.

Is is racist that black soaks up more solar radiation than white?
I like it warm but not scorchingly hot
I would be thanking the person that cut me out of that group.
You’re right.
They’re too busy ducking gunshots and drug dealers and stabbings and finding fathers that will actually stay and help with the child.
REAL problems they face, even if they mostly are the cause.
They don’t have time for fake problems.
Neither do we with bills and jobs and family to take care of or if retired helping out with the grandkids and taking care of one’s health and basically just trying to live in peace.
Which the One World Government folks HATE to let us do.
Stalin is the first thing you think of when cropping photos. Someone put the two side by side........................
Also look, the African girl is smiling slightly. All the white girls like angry or upset. All are dressed in black like druids.
Maybe somebody will point out to Nakate that
1.) it’s not about her,
2.) the cropping of the building DOES make for a better picture,
3.) she’s smiling while the others have fairly blank/stern looks on their faces,
and lastly,
4.) somebody has got to tell her to look up “useful idiots” and what happens to them when they’re no longer useful.
She should be grateful that she got off with a crop that was merely photographic.
children of the scorn...
Thanks = that’s a great point. Only woke people shown?
Evidently, but such liberals are self-exempt from the charge of bias.
