TIL what "Black Friday" is all about (just got an Amazon email). Cultural appropriation of the word "black" if you ask me (which you didn't).

What is Black Friday concept?
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.” [Library Service]

I believe the correct current day nomenclature is "nigger friday".
