TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: Comment: Those that are leaving comments stereotyping homeless are ignorant on how the majority of homeless really are and it seems like they're getting their ideas from fear mongering. I've spent a lot of time around homeless in Anchorage. I used to live in the heart of Mt. View and had to ride bus 45 frequently, which stops by Brother Francis Shelter & Bean's Cafe. I've been in tough spots where I've had to frequent food banks because I "made too much" for food stamps, but wasn't making enough to afford rent, bills, bus fare, and groceries. Not all homeless act out of violence. Yes, some homeless do drink or take drugs, but for the most part, they keep to themselves and get just as annoyed at the other homeless who abuse substances as some of the people speaking on here do. Spend some actual, real time around homeless people before you stereotype them all into something they're not.

SOLUTION: Non-obscene

PROBLEM: Comment: In 1988, two young American men beat to death Mulugeta Seraw, an Ethiopian graduate student. Mulugeta's only crime, according to them, was his skin color.

As it turned out, these men were members of the White Aryan Resistance (WAR), a white supremacist group founded by neo-Nazi and KKK grand dragon, Tom Metzger.

Metzger began his racist career in 1979 by patrolling the U.S./Mexican border in San Diego as a private citizen stating he was concerned about illegal immigration.

When he began hosting a television show aimed at white nationalism, his anti-immigrant stance quickly became an anti-anything not white, Christian and male. Additionally, he sponsored a rock concert for Aryan youth which is how the Seraw killers were introduced to his racist gutter spewed antics.

The Southern Poverty Law Center sued Metzger using the vicarious liability concept and won.

SOLUTION: Non-obscene

PROBLEM: Comment: "Terrorism is a modest, immediate threat to the United States." Tell that to the 911, Boston Marathon, and San Bernardino families. The writer is a racist, blaming Jews. Shame on the RG for allowing this Holocaust-supporting writer to express his hatred.

SOLUTION:
Non-obscene
