Joy Behar’s Moral Quandary: 'Isn't it a Little Racist to Call it Black Friday?'
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 11/26/2012 7:32:56 PM PST by chessplayer

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.

It’s a COMPLIMENTARY usage of “black” you twit Joy. She has to see a malicious racist under every rock.

I thought it was a commonplace to know it harks to the kind of ink that was once used to keep ledgers. If the ledgers showed a debt or a loss, red ink was used. If they showed a credit or a gain, black ink was used. I don’t know what ink was used to show exactly zero. Now parentheses are commonly used in ledgers to indicate negative amounts. “No parentheses Friday” anybody?

I guess to say I am dreaming of a ‘white’ Christmas would be considered racist by this nut also?

They have to keep up the demographic divide: Everyone against White Males. It won the Democraps the last two elections.

White Meat Turkey vs Black Friday Sales!

“No parentheses Friday” anybody?”

LOL, but you know.....they’ll just say it’s racist anyway. Remember Mitt Romney’s “binders”?

I’m a bookkeeper and I actually pre-date computers but we never actually used different colored inks, but of course machines did and do.

The parentheses are much better than just putting the little dash in front of a negative number, you don’t really see that clearly at all.

Now, we could call it “no dash” Friday except that wouldn’t make ANY sense at all.

And yes, Joy and her ilk of the terminally stupid would say that was racist too!

Most years its the first day that retailers actually make a profit, they are in the red (or negative) up until that day.

So you're bigoted against Indians too?

No, I get the reference. I was playing off the incident in 2008 where one of the Dallas County commissioners, a white guy, said their central collections office was so inefficient in collecting traffic fines that it was like a black hole. A couple of the other commissioners, black guys, complained, and one actually asked “Why the hole gotta be black?”

No, Joy it is not racist. You - like the majority of leftists/liberals/Democrats - suffer from a mental disorder called CPRS: “Chronic Perceived Racism Syndrome.” Symptoms include being introspective, irritable, or irrational when a skin color is mentioned, regardless of the context. But it typically concerns only one skin color. Sufferers of CPRS do not worry when someone sings “Red River Valley,” hums “Yellow Brick Road” or eats at “White Castle.” But just mention “Black Friday,” and it is racist!

You and your ilk are scary, Joy.
