Is Black Friday a Racist Term

P739

No! Black Friday refers to retail establishments getting in the "Black" (ie, profitable) rather than being in the "red" (losing money) because this is the time of year that many retail businesses make most, if not all, if their profits for the year.

Think of ink... Red ink in accounting terms means there is a shortage money wise, shortage in sales. Black ink means there was a gain, something positive, a good profit margin, excess in sales. Why do people always take the negative way in thinking? Always quick with the race card.

Black=credit
Red=debit
