What @curiosi and some others said.
It started off as a business term for the accounting, not as an advertisement sales. Where companies still in the red, would give discounts to get shoppers moving towards putting them in the black (in the positive money), which you might think should be green, but black ink is the easiest and most accessible color ink.
So really it's about ink color of a company being in the positive, which happens to be black, so black Friday.
