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: The first volley was fired by Trump saying he was going to ban all muslims from entering the US, and by extension asserting that all muslims are a threat. What the Khans said was in response to that.

SOLUTION: Identity-attack

PROBLEM: Comment: I just heard the Fake News; it is worst than I thought. A commie in the white house! I wonder if Ivanka's going to dump him now? I'm really worried for their kids. Obstruction, collusion, stupidity. Aloha and have a wonderful day

SOLUTION: Non-identity-attack

PROBLEM: Comment: Had Obama made just a fraction of the comments Trump made, I'd be willing to bet Lemler would not have called the issue "petty."

The best thing about this election, if there is one, is that the GOP will only have themselves to blame when voters realize that the GOP does not have any workable and effective solutions to their concerns. They will finally realize that the finger-pointing from the GOP was all a distraction from their own unwillingness to unite for common concerns. When jobs continue to disappear from automation, they have no effective replacement for ACA, the rich just get richer, and immigrants continue to actually work and get jobs (how dare they!), there will only be self-reflection as the pendulum inevitably swings back to the Dems.

Until then, it will be morbidly entertaining to see the GOP actually have to perform.

I find sad irony that Lemler doesn't see public lands - land available for ALL to hike, explore, hunt, etc as "our land." But somehow private land is.

SOLUTION:
Non-identity-attack
