TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: identity-attack and non-identity-attack. Identity attack refers to anything rude or disrespectful about someone's identity, including appearance, race, gender, and sexual orientation.
PROBLEM: Comment: Another black racist raised on hate history.  Does she know that the first slave owner in america was a black plantation owner?  Also, a large percentage of slave owners were black.  Of you read “real” history you might know that.  Most slaves after being captured by black Africans and sold to white slave traders were sent to South America, Central America, and the islands in the Caribbean.  Approximately 2% were sent to North America.  Those are “facts”, not left wing progressive propaganda.

SOLUTION: Identity-attack

PROBLEM: Comment: Obama’s mother did not work at BOH. You lied.

SOLUTION: Non-identity-attack

PROBLEM: Comment: Blacks could have just gone to a different lunch counter in the 50s too!   Follow the business license you agreed to.  Can a waiter refuse to serve a fat person because gluttony is a "sin". where would it end?

SOLUTION:
Identity-attack
