Is Black Friday racist?

[SoCalMark 49]

So what are we saying here? The politically correct way to say it is: African-American Friday -- ???

Why do black people get mad when someone dresses up with black face on Halloween but don't get mad about Black Friday?

Perhaps they associate only good things with that connotation, with seemingly good deals and happy consumers the main public image of the day.

This thread is b.s. With a capital B.

Why are you upset the word black is being associated with something good for once. You are okay as long as it is associated with something bad?

Your thread should be closed. It is just something else to promote negativity and hate. I'm disappointed in you.

Perhaps you should take it in the spirit with which it was intended.

Which was what? A black face with someone being negative and discounts, shopping and good times are separate things.

Why is either negative?

Would you be happier with hordes of people in black face shopping for bargains?

I don't know why ... your avatar is white with a black background ... perfectly legitimate.

Racism is stupid. And it goes both ways. I think that the regulars know the intent of my posts.

Methinks your intent may have been mistaken for that of some other posters in this forum.

I thought that the difference in my posts compared to the others was obvious. In fact, Marvin posted that in another thread that it was clear that I was joking while the known VJ racists were quite obvious in the way they post and pretend that they aren't racists.

I apologize to Janelle if I have offended her in any way.

What may be crystal to some folk may be clear as mud to others. You never can tell. Let's hope you apology is understood and accepted.
