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.

[EX Q]: Comment: I am reminded of Martin Luther King's "Letter From A Birmingham Jail". I am particularly reminded of this paragraph:

We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action campaign that was "well timed" in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word "Wait!" It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This "Wait" has almost always meant "Never." We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that "justice too long delayed is justice denied."

Substitute "homosexual" for "Negro", and it rings true in this situation.
[EX A]: Identity-attack

[EX Q]: Comment: mtf1953>  So sorry, but I don't waste anytime reading your low brow posts.  All you do is put a bunch of words, shake 'em up and type, no relativity to your sorry efforts at being a journalist, ha, ha, ha!!!!  You provide nothing of value to the discussion, as always!!!!
[EX A]: Non-identity-attack

[EX Q]: Comment: All the protesters and their supports like the businesses ( airlines, car rental companies, young brothers etc.) who feared the ferry should be sent the bill.  We caved for a minority like we always do since we are led by incompetent democrats.  Of course they will try to pin the blame on Lingle, but come on get real, a Republican Governor with an entire government composed of democrats, what would you think was going to happen when the democrats wouldn't back anything a Republican says and will over ride vetoes just to remind everyone who is in control.   Send the bill to the activists and their ilk.
[EX A]:
Non-identity-attack
