No, Black Friday is not for black people. It is a shopping holiday in the United States that traditionally marks the start of the Christmas shopping season. It falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Many stores offer highly promoted sales at discounted prices and often open early, sometimes as early as midnight or even on Thanksgiving.  

Why is it called "Black Friday"?

The name "Black Friday" is thought to have originated in Philadelphia in the 1950s, when police officers used the term to describe the chaotic traffic conditions that occurred on the day after Thanksgiving. The term may have also been used by retailers to describe the day when they began to turn a profit for the year.

Black Friday is open to everyone, regardless of race or ethnicity.
