"More recently, merchants and the media have used it instead to refer to the beginning of the period in which retailers go from being in the red (i.e., posting a loss on the books) to being in the black (i.e., turning a profit)."

-Wikipedia

Here is a site that says something about how employers wore black suits or something.

I found this on a website.

Nobody is quite sure as to where Black Friday in the States got its name. One popular theory is that its origins are connected to accounting practices where negatives are written with red ink and positives with black. The start of the Christmas shopping season is said to be the first day that retailers get out of the red and into the black ink. Another theory on the origin of the name is that the black refers to the black marks left on the roads due to the heavy traffic caused by the shopping frenzy.

I have a friend who works at walmart who was ordered to not call it black friday while on the job, he was told to call it 'blitz friday' instead. Not quite sure around the reasoning, but thought that was weird.

Because people die. lol.....Idk if that's the real reason or not. I just assumed so because a year or two back someone got tramled and died at Walmart.

that happens almost every year lol.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.
