Teacher: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.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Comment: I treat people like people and judge them on how they treat others. What shall I do, Charles, lay down my coat for a black person to walk upon? Let the (black) person in line behind me go ahead? I wouldn't do that for most people.
Black people complaining about ill treatment, but then not finishing high school, for instance (same for white people) won't fix a thing. Bill Cosby, whom I've lost respect for, made a searing speech that hit it spot on. Also the monologue at the end of Madea's Family Reunion by Cicely Tyson. Powerful stuff. Check it out.
Student:
Identity-attack
