I’m sick of this “Black Friday” garbage.
It’s called the day after Thanksgiving. “Black Friday” is merely industry jargon which originated with the American department stores because the After-Thanksgiving Sales (also the proper term) were highly profitable, putting them “in the black.” The media got wind of the term and it eventually spread to public usage sometime during the 1990s. The giant retailers and the advertising industry now had a new buzzword with which they could dupe the general public into believing they had to attend what was the biggest sales event of the year (all hype, of course).
The Thanksgiving weekend has been ruined by greed and materialism. Instead of being grateful, people want more, more, more.
