It's a financial term that has nothing to do with race. I just wouldn't want ot poke the bear by having a whites sale on that day. Maybe just do something with going green.

It is believed by many that the term Black Friday derives from the concept that businesses operate at a financial loss, or are “in the red,” until the day after Thanksgiving, when massive sales finally allow them to turn a profit, or put them “in the black.” So, if anything, it's actually a positive connotation and not a derogatory one.

@IM5688 because those are overt references to minorities, which often include caricatured cartoon logos or stereotypical depictions of actual black people on the packaging, whereas Black Friday is an abstract term that references bank terminology for coloured print or pen (black print for credit, red print for debt). But I think you know that already, or you really should at your age. 😒

Because it's to do with financial terms. Anyone trying to make it a "thing" is probably saying more about themselves then a financial term

Oh, look. A MAGA thinks he found a loophole. You folks need to turn to something real productive, like how to acknowledge that your intent is not to shut down the "woke", but to justify your racism.
I shop on any friday because all fridays matter

I am sure some people do consider it racist. Those are the ignorant mis-informed segments of society who live to find ways to play the victim.

The term "Black Friday" has always been in financial reference to small business ownership. 'Black' refers to an Accountant's balance sheet showing the business to now be operating in the black (black ink), versus operating in the red (red ink), otherwise known as a 'loss' when red ink is used on a balance sheet.
It's usually the last month of the year where any small business finally turns a profit after operating at a loss for most of the year.
The only people who attach a Racist connotation to the term "Black Friday" are those who associate the color 'black' with a human Race.
