Social Text is proud to present a diverse range of ideas and opinions from our authors and individual contributors. We encourage you to join these discussions in the comments section.

Reader’s comments will be reviewed before they are posted. To ensure the quality of the discussion, we have a few guidelines.

By commenting, you agree to the following:

  • Be polite – We welcome debate. However, if you disagree, do so respectfully. No personal attacks, defamation, or libel. Under no circumstances should you post anything that could be taken as abusive, offensive, profane, harassing, threatening, sexist, or racist.
  • Keep comments on topic – Any comment that appears to be off-topic will be edited or deleted. Further, we reserve the right to edit for brevity, clarity and other purposes.
  • Editor’s right – While we encourage comments that challenge or offer constructed criticism, we reserve the right to edit or remove any comment, at our discretion.

We appreciate our readers, and hope the conversations that take place will be inquisitive, constructive, and thought provoking. If you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns, please contact the editor, Tavia Nyong’o.
