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: Peter: The reason why it's difficult to take deal with issues raised in the letter is that the writer is largely dealing in hyperbole and bromides.  

Here's an example: "Trump’s tax cuts would increase investment, boost productivity and wages and increase innovation and opportunities for all Americans." That's silly. Tax cuts for the super-wealthy don't result in any of those things (or if they do the effect is neglible). The Bush tax cuts sure didn't result in that stuff. 

Most of the other statement are similar. Just a whole bucket of simplistic statements with little regard for the complexity of any of these issues.
[EX A]: Non-identity-attack

[EX Q]: Comment: But federal government funded and controlled healthcare is currently about 67% of national healthcare, leaving private insurance at about 33%. So how will wringing "ridiculous deductibles and premiums to the for-profit insurance companies" of a small percent of national healthcare result in enough funding for Medicare-for-all. The math doesn't add up unless income and payroll taxes are increased significantly.

And remember not all private insurance is for profit, Kaiser-Permante and other private providers are non-profit.
[EX A]: Non-identity-attack

[EX Q]: Comment: This country was founded as a white racist nation. The proof is in the original Constitution. Violence has always been at its core. What do you think the 2nd Amendment was needed for? The nation was built on ethic cleansing of the locals and race based slavery. The country has been a giant affirmative action program for people that Europe didn't need or want. We have been working on becoming "a more perfect union" ever since. As we move ever so slowly toward a merit based society, white male privilege is losing power. It is now illegal to kill black people while they are praying in church. That use to be one of the many white privileges that white men had. Lynchings are no longer considered family entertainment. There are photos. White folks invented the "race card" when they decided that being white was more important than being human. The good news is that younger people are generally less racist than their elders. In another 200 years, all lives may actually matter in this country.
