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: For me, there's something powerfully wrong when the BC Liberal government goes ahead and  quietly sells-off publicly owned social housing properties/assets like Nicholson Tower, Sunset Towers, or others, without first holding open public consultations/hearings as part of the democratic process involved in the sale of these publicly owned assets first, and that would include the residents most affected by the damn sale and the neighbourhood where the public properties/assets are located - much like public hearings are held on a municipal property re-zoning application for example.  But alas, it seems like our beloved less-than-democratically-open BC Liberal government, deemed this wholly unnecessary.  Why!??

SOLUTION: Non-identity-attack

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: Thanks for your kind words Phrogge.

Francis is an enigma to me.  He says really good things, and the way he lives is personal life is refreshing, and truly admirable. But at the same time, he seems to miss some really big things, often seeming to err on the side of clericalism. The scandal is probably as good an example of this as any.  He KNOWS that the laity wants accountability, yet, he walked away from his "tribunal" idea, and appears to have all but abandoned the Commission. Both of those were greeted with high hopes from the laity. I for one was truly saddened to read Maria's piece when she quit, and mentioned that she never even got to talk to the pope. Guess he has more important things to do...

The gap exists, but I strongly suspect that's what's giving the Spirit room to work. Something new will emerge, and I fear the bishops will be the last to see it. At our core, we still thirst for good news, for meaning, for compassion, and wisdom.  That's the hope, and the seed...

Non-identity-attack
