Ralphie ★ Posted November 28, 2014 Share #1 Posted November 28, 2014 Up until a few years ago, I figured black meant miserable, until I heard the explanation that it is when retailers start making profit for the year, i.e. going into the black. Go ahead, admit it if you thought/think that too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrAzY Posted November 28, 2014 Share #7 Posted November 28, 2014 So what do you know aboot the origin of the term "Black Friday"? I know it is racist against white people! Why can't they have a White Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
