Why do they call it "Black Friday?" Is it because of the shoppers?
Every year it seems the advertisements creep in earlier and earlier, and our “holidays” come to resemble more of an all-day advertising pitch than a day of rest and reflection. When the struggles of our ancestors are reduced to trivialities, the trivial is all we are left with to “celebrate.” Celebration in contemporary America means consumption. The Bargain Basement

They call it Black Friday because of the barbarians that attack the retail stores in untold numbers, creating havoc, stealing from one another, and either killing or maiming the employees of those establishments.

Why Black Friday? Why is it that only blacks are allowed to go shopping on that Friday? I think whites and other minorities should also be allowed to go shopping on Friday.
