""""Anyway, big props to Ida B. Wells, she was so brave for her time, and much more courageous than our modern day Black Journalists whose main concern is their pay checks."""""

I believe in her time(19th century) it was not yet a big deal if a Black person or any person for this matter to mention the word "holocaust" to be fair, simply because the Jewish holocaust did not come into existance yet in Germany, and none of these political "sensitivities" attached to the word existed. Anyway, since late 1940s the word holocaust became a hugely politicized issue.

I can image that during Ida B Wells times such thing as being Anti-semitic in the Western countries didn't exist, even if you hang as many Jews as you want in those southern states, no one one would accuse you of being anti-semitic. This expression didn't exist or if it did exist, it didn't had any political influence.
