Black Friday

[joeluke]

Am surprised we're allowed to call it this

[gulliver1]

Seeing the doors opening at some of the big stores and the customers rush in. I can see why they call it black friday.

Nobody is offended by the phrase Black Friday.

Baa baa black sheep has NOT been banned.

Blackboards are STILL called blackboards (although most schools use whiteboards now - want to make a big deal of that?)

Nobody is trying to ban Christmas.

Is there not enough fighting and bickering in this world without folk trying to cause trouble over urban legends?

[jackthehat]

Not ALL uses of the word 'black' are viewed as having racist under/over-tones and it's mischief-making to point out that they are.

[snags]

According to Defoe, Friday was indeed black.

[BilSuth]

Too much p.c. nonsense. People shouting "foul play" and "bias" to gain advantages.

[smurfchops]

Can we call it Just Another Sale Friday?

[Mamyalynne]

No, I haven't met any of them either - thank goodness.


Wonder why the OP is surprised? Is he offended?

[Mamyalynne]

We can all call if what we want can't we.
