Black Friday is a stupid term, not a racist one. What’s so black about it? Anyone who doesn’t want to fight the crowds is free to stay home. It makes a ton of money for the stores. Most husbands get a nice quiet day without the wife (ducking for cover!).
We should call it Awesome Friday!
Now, if we were forced to go shopping on this day, we’d need to call it “The Red Hour” (Star Trek reference...if you don’t get it, I can’t explain it to you.)
The Black in Black Friday is for black ink. Once upon a time accountants put debits in red ink and credits in black ink. On Black Friday your ledgers were full of credits listed in lovely black ink. You made a profit. Hurray for Profit!
It’s Black Friday for black ink. Which if you know anything about accounting IS awesome.
