In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: threat and non-threat. Threat is a statement that someone will be hurt or harmed, especially if the person does not do something in particular.

[Q]: Comment: “absolutely, racism has played a role” says Meredith.

Another, perfect example of his unsuitability to sit in the Senate and be part of our Parliament. As clear cut a case of unethical behavior, that included grooming a teenager for sexual purposes, as there can be. And he wants to play the race card. At least his new lawyer is smart enough to not go there. 

What an immoral, self serving man. Revolting!
[A]: Non-threat


[Q]: Comment: TRUMP:
Stop the Nightmare (aka: "Dreamer's") program.
Do NOT reward bad (criminal) behavior.
Pregnant ILLEGAL women came here solely in hopes their offspring automatically becomes American citizens.
Kick them all out !!!
[A]: Threat


[Q]: Comment: When Josh Earnest, White House press secretary, declined to comment about this mess, I thought, "Good, the president should just stay out of this and not inflame the situation more."

Then Barack Obama comes out and throws just a bit of gasoline on the fire. Yeah, I know, he is not constrained by his position, as the FBI director might be. But, to me, it represents very bad judgment. Anxious to give Mrs. Clinton a boost, no doubt.

As for Comey, he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. If he doesn't say anything, and Mrs. Clinton wins, the Right, already pumped up by The Music Man about a conspiratorial America, would go wild when it came out - as it inevitably would. Or worse, the investigation might be leaked before the election, which would be much more explosive than anything Comey said. It's going to be difficult enough to reconcile this country after the election, without lathering that on.
