There's nothing like tuning into an episode of "The View" for a little exploration of social sensitivities in the modern American culture.
In keeping with that tradition, on Black Friday, a term used to describe the Friday following Thanksgiving, which is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season, the use of the word "black" to mark this occasion was a topic of discussion on "The View" for its potential "racist" implications.
How come nobody ever asks if Cracker Jacks are racist?
And there’s no cure for stupid.
you better get ready because we are going to be bombarded with Racist , Racist , Racist ,then hold on for a big surprise
I laugh almost every day these days. The name in question fits perfectly!
LOL!
You’re cutting into homework time here.
Maybe she does know. Black means profit which is a dirty word in her world view (except when her pay check is at risk).
No more Shakespearean black humor?
Have you ever checked your IQ tests results?
IDIOT!

That or she’s something of a nihilist bomb-thrower who enjoys rousing the rabble over utter stupidity.
Or, maybe she’s an idiot savant who can only do bombast.
...let alone Kurt Vonnegut?
Screw that!
I had an old cow at one time. She went out looking for things to frighten her.
This is the same thing, finding something to holler “racism” about. And when they cannot find anything, they make something racist up.
Many years ago they decided snow was racist, so went around withing each other a “black” Christmas.
You mean like the racist "Congressional Black Caucus?"
I predict her handlers will see her negatives sky rocketing and she will go on a tea party charm offensive.
Screw her.
She must have a conniption when she hears “White Christmas” on the radio.
Reminds me of the time members of the Labour Party in the UK said the word “blackboard” was “racist”.

“Black”, in due time, and if they’re allowed to get away with it, will be turned into thr “B” word, just like the “N” word or the “F” word.
“Black” will be politically and ethically/morally/legally incorrect.
To appease Behar, we’ll have to change B-Friday to “Profit” Friday. But then, “profits” are a dirty word to liberals, so, we’ll have to change that too, to perhaps, Shop-till-you-drop Friday.
We can only hope that the “R” word and the “C” word don’t become outlawed too.

So going from the red (being neg revenue vs costs) to going in the black (making $$$) is racist?
F-ing stupid bimbo. If anything it is the opposite of racist.
