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!

My son told me that today. It is funny and I may start using it just to be a jerk to overly sensitive liberals.

It’s Black Friday for black ink. Which if you know anything about accounting IS awesome.

Also mention Elon Musk, one of the country's most successful African Americans. He just happens to be white.

Evidently, Black Friday can get very ugly but it’s not necessarily “black” as in “beautiful”....So then, it’s only racist when referring to the ugliness and ‘beauty’ in the same sentence but it is what it is, right?

Let’s see...

Is it better for your business to be in the “Red” or in the “Black?”

Red ink is used for losses. Black ink is for gains.

If I remember correctly, the phrase “Black Friday” was the day retailers would move furthest into the “Black” because a lot of people were off work the day after Thanksgiving.

“Black Forest” - a place in Germany
“Black Forest Cake” - the best in the world
“Black and Tan” - Scottish clan colors
“Black Irish” - someone else can explain what this term means
“The Blue-Black Jews of Greece” - a specific group of Jews who lived in Greece many centuries ago
“Blackout” - lack of lights by accident or deliberate action of turning off lights
“Brownout” - similar but less severe
“Brownfields” - an environmental term referring to a certain type of pollutes land/area
“Black and White floor tiles” - now called “Totally Dark and Caucasian/Milky Colored floor tiles”
