In a place far, far away
In this PC world we live in why are we allowed to use the phrase Black Friday?

We can’t say Braves, Redskins, etc. But yet we can still say Black Friday...

:biggrin:

I'm generally pretty ambivalent about shopping all the rest of the year, but this time of year is different. Black Friday's matter.
 
And forget about white Christmas and MMA would like to have a word with you regarding Boxing Day
 
Why am I seeing "Black Friday" sale ads for Friday Nov 22 when Black Friday is Friday Nov 30 this year? And last year Canadian Tire started "Red Thursday" the day before Black Friday. Surely someone had to be triggered by all these things!
 
OP would like a word with you on the use of Red
 
I was told it's called Black Friday because on that day the stores supposedly do enough business to put them in the black for the year.
 
It's african american friday.
YOU RACIST!!!
 
In the black? I don't like the way that sounds.
 
Let’s ban all colours.

Lol.. now you were put in the cross hairs of the LGBTQ community..lol.. I do agree that we have become too sensitive to things being said.. what crazy world do we live in when the "OK" sign has become racist.. like WTF is next.. thumbs up, or great job?

And why Friday?
Other days are being discriminated against and being made to feel less worthy.
 
I plan to celebrate Black Friday the way I usually do; by having a date with a beautiful black woman.
 
I've been in the black (woman) on many fridays ....... and every other day of the week.
 
Wow!
You folks are really being silly, the vast majority of people know what Black Friday means.
If you don’t then you should really educate yourself, you are looking extremely foolish.

In this phrase the word Black is an accounting word. It's the time when retailers get out of the red, and into the black. Hard to believe that they are in the red for 11 months if the year. The only retail experience I have is as a consumer. I only buy what I need, but wifey takes up the slack.
