Black Friday Origins: Is The Term Really Coined From Black Slavery? by Millz404(m): 11:36am On Nov 26, 2016
A dark Black Friday origin story that has something to do with slavery is apparently behind the merry, yet chaotic, shopping spree event. But is there any truth to it?

Every last Friday of November, or the day after Thanksgiving, shoppers flock to the stores of retailers to mark the start of the Christmas shopping season while getting massive discounts. Yet a dark tale seems to shroud the day of the shopping bonanza.
