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: Obama’s mother did not work at BOH. You lied.

SOLUTION: Non-identity-attack

PROBLEM: Comment: Civility is DEAD in Washington and there is nothing more hypocritical than when this certain group of politicians and "journalists" get all holier-than-thou and accuse the PRESIDENT of being cruel or insensitive.
Congressmen calling each other stupid or crazy or worse. Journalists calling people names (sexist, misogynist, racist, DEPLORABLE).
What the President said was childish and certainly "not very nice" but the reality is, WASHINGTON ISN'T A VERY NICE PLACE.

It doesn't make it RIGHT but it IS a REALITY.

Trump has been CONSTANTLY attacked from the Left, Center and Right from DAY 1. Yeah, I wish he could be the "bigger man" and rise above all this pettiness but I look at how they have treated him and I think of how I would be tempted to react if it was ME in his shoes:

I'm not so sure I would do much better and I'm VERY sure that he isn't the only one "hurting people's feelings" inside the Beltway.

SOLUTION: Non-identity-attack

PROBLEM: Comment: "If you're a black in Canada, you're born a Porter and you die a Porter" no longer holds."

yup. the 3 best bosses I had over many years and varied jobs were Japanese, female and black. and before the trolls start that is in chronological order

SOLUTION:
Identity-attack
