instruction:
In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: obscene and non-obscene. A comment is obscene if it is considered offensive to the public sense of decency, for example because it too obviously relates to sex or contains language regarded as taboo in polite usage.
question:
Comment: I'd like to share a comment written in response to the article "Clarity beyond clericalism: Bishop Long at the Royal Commission" published in the Australian on-line journal "Eureka Street." The article elicited this response from one reader, who referred to Catholic schools:

"If there were a significant risk of abuse, then enrolments would have fallen off dramatically. They haven't... so I conclude this is a witch-hunt...and not a realistic assessment of any widespread problem."

To describe Australia's Royal Commission into Institutional Child Sexual Abuse as an unrealistic "witch-hunt" addressing a manufactured problem sounds bizarre to me.  However, this commentator is not alone; there are others.

Those of us who believe Church reform is sine qua non need to be talking to these folks.  Conversation can be a slow process, but if there is no meeting of minds, no willingness to listen, we're dead in the water.
answer:
Non-obscene


question:
Comment: Don't cry "reverse racism" or make false equivalencies. Context matters. Saying whiteface is the same as blackface trivializes historical oppression (hello, black folks were not the slave owners/lynchers/Jim Crow enforcers). People of color are forced to assimilate themselves to the mainstream white culture in order to survive; putting on a "white face" is something we must do every day.  When a white person dons black face, they are trying on the face of the marginalized other for fun without living or experiencing racism. Not to mention the historical context of blackface. Google it.
answer:
Non-obscene


question:
Comment: Read the trial judge's own words about Nigel Wright's conduct (and 'others')  . . . quoted in the comment you just 'disagreed' with.

"actions were driven by deceit, manipulations and carried out in a clandestine manner "
answer:

Non-obscene
