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.

[EX Q]: Comment: A large percentage of those "poorly educated" white folks in the Rust Belt that elected Trump are more comfortable being victims than taking responsibility for their choices in life. No one is profiling them. No one is trying to deport them. They get to vote if they want to. They are the only demographic dying younger and they are killing themselves with their behaviors. As technology and globalization make bigotry and racism less profitable, they refuse to change with the times. On some deep level they realize that merit and equality for all are social and economic demotions for them. They would rather die than admit this truth. Sadly, like they do in their families when they commit murder suicides, they want to take the rest of us down with them if they can't have their way. Then along came Russia with their boy Trump. They treat him like their savior. This even though he has never saved anyone but himself. Being ignorant is not a good strategy for success in the 21st century.
[EX A]: Identity-attack

[EX Q]: Comment: Black people cry racism every chance they get. It's pathetic.
[EX A]: Identity-attack

[EX Q]: Comment: "Several officers protected with a riot shield responded to a call..."

Riot shields, Tasers, and nightsticks all provide less than lethal defense. A riot shield stops a bullet, thus a hammer thrown or swung. What happened to teamwork?

The shooter was in the rear of their formation and shot five shots into a naked 128 pound kid. Are cops so afraid that they shoot first and let their partners cover for them?

This is another lesson, NEVER call the cops, they will run your rap sheet before they arrive, shoot first, then blame you. America is no longer free, unless freedom means safe in a police state where they can shoot you, your loved ones, or your dog with impunity and knee jerk conservatives will defend their "rights".
[EX A]:
Non-identity-attack
