There's nothing like tuning into an episode of "The View" for a little exploration of social sensitivities in the modern American culture.
In keeping with that tradition, on Black Friday, a term used to describe the Friday following Thanksgiving, which is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season, the use of the word "black" to mark this occasion was a topic of discussion on "The View" for its potential "racist" implications.
OK I remember now.
`The View’ is the show that turned down Rachel Campos-Duffy, recently urging the GOP to cooperate in giving amnesty to tens of millions of criminalien migrants: `Selling the American Dream.’
Too stupid for The View, damn ....
Here we go again! No blackouts or brownouts; no black-hearted villains; no black cats bearing bad luck; no blackboards (they’ve been green for a long time); no black ice; no black-eyed peas; and heaven forbid, nothing black as the ace of spades.
Joy, you numbskull! It’s named in honor of all the black people trampled to death by discount store mobs. Don’t you know anything?
Some people are line, you know, clueless. Everyone knows this except you, Joy.
Even Elton John knows this.
“During the week of May 29th, The View had 3.22 million viewers” from ABC Ratings Report 8 Jun, 2012.
Three and a quarter million women just soaking it up, imagining they are informed and thoughtful, and voting?
From Pew, Sept 2012:
“Regular viewers of daytime talk shows are less educated than the public as a whole. Among this group, just 19% have four year degrees, 26% have attended some college and 54% have a high school diploma or less education.”
She must hate Steely Dan.
And AC/DC
And her head would snap if she found out the meaning behind Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog.”
Initially the charge of racism was because there was rampant racism. Now it’s simply to get votes, get attention or make money.
But this shows the idiot has never balanced a checkbook.
Hey Joy... Isn’t it racist calling you a woman?
The View is just White Noise.
Libs are breathtakingly unbelievable.
I don’t have time to read the comments right now. I’m sure they’re fantastic.
I am tired of this racism fad. Can’t we go back to tofu? Toes are cute. I’m not so sure about the fu.
During the reign of a black _resident - who came out of a white womb (hint hint)-, Black Friday shall be White Friday. White Christmas shall be black Christmas. Happy now?

Seriously, aren’t there more important things to be concerned with? These airheads are polluting the air waves with their PC BS just to cover up their lack of IQ.
She first said this on The View in Dec 2009. More proof that “you can’t fix stupid”
I have to admit, I was talking about “Black Friday” around a black woman and I actually started to feel a little uncomfortable though she didn’t have any reaction...
Cripes, I’ve been INFECTED!
I agree, why black?
Let rename it to Rainbow Friday.
That will take care of all colors. How about Fish Friday. Frugal Friday. Financial Friday. Funeral Friday. Post Thanksgiving Friday.
Maybe the low IQ-ers should study a bit of history and find out the roots of Black Friday.
Maybe it's time to name it Red Friday.
I guess that does it for my favorite department store’s “white sales”. It was held several times a year with great bargains on bedding, linens, etc. It has been called a “white sale” since time in memorial. But now that the liberal racists have grab a hold of it, guess it will be gone forever.
Blacks should be thankful it’s ‘Black Friday’ and not ‘Black Sale’. Whites got that distinction (White Sale).
Black listed, Boston Blackie, Black Clouds, Black Coffee - These people are absolute Morons . . . I do not understand why they get a forum.
