B/c it's the day when retailers who are in the "red" (losing money) will most likely go to being in the "black" (earning money), if they are going to, since it's one of the biggest shopping days of the year.

Well during the great depression the stores had to put more and bigger sales. Because no one had any money to buy things. And on Black Friday was the official day

It is the day of the year when retailers supposedly start earning a profit, so the business moves from the "red" to the "black" when referring to profits.

Because it's when their finances in the stores go into the black. In other words, the stores were losing money until this weekend.

It refers to how this society has become hyper-materialistic and how for a lot of people Christmas is nothing more than a day to exchange gifts...

because the retailers write checks in their checkbooks to pay for items like t.v.'s so people like african americans can afford it. it really a sale because the retailers pay half of it.
