These folks just can’t believe that it isn’t all about them. Ignorance and stupidity seem to know no bounds

Re: going into the “red”
reminds me of in the late 80’s I was reading the front page of the L.A. Times an article about a company that was having financial troubles and had currently turned it around, Then I came to a sentence I had to read over and over ‘til it dawned on me what had happened in the composing room and laughed. This company “after years in the red had recently gone into the African-American.”
The LA Times had switched to automatic computer changes to all copy of the term “black” to African American to be PC but hadn’t tested I guess.

And I thought the name Black-Friday referred to the day most retailers’ ledgers went from red to black in the net earnings column. I had no idea it was a day to get that special someone on your Christmas list a slave to wrap-up and put under the Christmas tree while saving some serious bucks too. Who knew?

Not only does this singer have it wrong, but I don’t think Snopes has it right, either.
I grew up in the Philadelphia area, and I never heard the term “Black Friday” used derisively. My father always explained the term as an accounting term. “In the black” (black ink in bookkeeping) means profit, whereas “in the red” (red ink) means loss. The term had this meaning before the 1980’s.

I’m surprised it’s legal to be this stupid.

People fighting and getting upset over buying stuff? No thanks.
Reminds me of when my lovely wife and I first got married. She worked at a Toys R Us at the height of the Cabbage Patch dolls craze. They needed to have some of Clarkstown, NY's finest patrolling the parking lot to break up any fights that erupted over those damn things. Things really got crazy when the Black Cabbage Patch dolls were released and it was WHITE people who fought over them. My Black friends thought it was hilarious.

What a total dope....obviously no concept of double entry accounting and the use of red ink and black ink to delineate profit or loss.
see :http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3231532/posts?page=6#6
Ferguson has struck the primordial fear in blacks. Blacks down deep fear that one day whites will rise up and institute massive genocide against the unwanted blacks. That is why blacks respond in this manner when a black is killed by a white especially if the white has an official capacity. Silly and paranoid? Perhaps from the white perspective but not only do blacks believe it but many feel it will happen in their lifetime.
This really nails the mindset these days.

IIRC, at one point, Braxton had serious money troubles.

Have they taken an average IQ of Americans lately?By default, average IQ is 100. It's just that the 100 of 30 years ago was probably smarter than the 100 of today.
