Black Friday Cometh

Posted in Black Friday, Holidays, Promotions by admin on November 7th, 2006.

black_friday_cometh.jpg 

Throughout history, many happenings have occured on a Black Friday:

  • Black Friday (1869), a financial crisis in the United States
  • Black Friday (1881) in which 189 Scottish fishermen lost their lives
  • Black Friday (1889), the day of the Johnstown Flood.
  • Black Friday (1910), the Women’s Social and Political Union took militant action when the Conciliation Bill failed.
  • Black Friday (1919), a riot in Glasgow stemming from industrial unrest
  • Black Friday (1921), day on which British dockers’ and railwaymen’s union leaders announced their decision not to call for strike action against wage reductions for miners
  • Black Friday (1939), a day of devastating fires in Australia
  • Black Friday (1945), largest air battle over Norway, over Sunnfjord
  • Hollywood Black Friday (1945), the day the six-month-old Confederation of Studio Unions (CSU) strike boiled over into a bloody riot at the Warner Bros. studios leading to the eventual breakup of the CSU.
  • Black Friday (1978), a massacre of protesters in Iran
  • Black Friday (1982), known in Britain after Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, sparking the Falklands War
  • Black Friday (1987), the day an hour-long F4 category tornado ran through the city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
  • Black Friday (2004), a crackdown on a peaceful protest in the capital city of Maldives, Malé.

    • Despite all these horrors that have occured on the Friday immediately following Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday is also considered to be the point in the year at which retailers no longer have losses, but instead are beggining to take in the profits.  Because profits are denoted in accounting by Black, and deficits by Red, it follows that this day be called Black Friday.  With all this having been said, expect to see many different sales ads, like Best Buy, CompUSA, Sears, Target, JCPenney, Walmart, etc., for Black Friday.
