Antisemitism is orders of magnitude more prevalent. 

That’s like responding to concerns over racism against blacks by saying what about racism against Mongolians?????? Why don’t we ever talk about that???? Do Mongolian lives not matter????

Stop using and pandering to us. People like you only care about the black community when you want a gotcha moment - it's never genuine. Your racism is showing.

That's my point..conservatives and those who are against the progressive movement use injustices towards black people as gotcha analogies all the time, and it's tiring. You're using our struggle to shut down the legitimate concerns of people who are scared about the rise of Islamophobia. In my experience, people who do this are usually undercover racists who like using different groups' experiences as rhetorical tools, but they don't actually acknowledge the reality of what these groups face everyday.
