Calls for Black Friday to be renamed because it sounds RACIST

University of Florida students change their minds on renaming Black Friday after learning it has nothing to do with race. The term Black Friday was first used after the financial crisis following the crash of the market in 1869.

Here’s another one for the ‘woke’ community, White Christmas is that now deemed racist also 😂😂😂 go get a life!!!

understand that the ones in power are doing this since ever, divide and conquer because if we all unite they can't rule

When you burn something, everything turns to black. What's racist about that?

Oh come on!!!! It’s an accounting term that means something positive!

LOL EVERYTHING IS NOT ABOUT RACE

The woke brigade are at it again

Black Fridays matter

To the uneducated I suppose it might.

Ffs the world has gone mad

Oh ffs!

Was waiting for this 😂🤣😂🤣

Wondered how long it would take someone to be offended by this. Absolutely ridiculous, then surely isn't black pound day also racist and offensive, oh no sorry it's racist when it suits

I was waiting for the woke brigade to jump on this one 🤓

People today....

Almost inevitable

what kind of perverse is that up to this point no one has ever thought that it has to do with something racial like black market for example that is being there for millenniums and yet no one thought of anything but what the instigated meaning was

I wondered how long it would take 😂😂😂

Here we go again 🙄 was wondering how long it took 😒

When people comment but don’t actually know the history of the thing they’re commenting on 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️

What about the MOBO awards?

Can’t even have a non white car anymore

Should be renamed Idiots Friday!

Stupid

White Friday!!!!

Let’s just get rid of the word black altogether to avoid offending the permanently offended

Yup offended by everything and ashamed of nothing!

idiotsintheworld

This sounds like an Onion or PrivateEyeNews headline.

It has nothing to do with skin colour it is bank terminology. It means the retailer’s are in the black and not in the red.

When will we stop calling the MOBO awards

So call it White Weekend, who gives a shit?

Click Bait. The students have changed their minds after history explained about Black Friday 🙄

How about “Friday” ?

Black lives matter sounds racist too.

Here it referred to the practice of workers calling in sick on the day after Thanksgiving, in order to have a four-day week-end. ... Black Friday, is the beginning of the period when retailers would no longer be 'in the red', instead of taking in the year's profits.

Why not call it man Friday...oh wait !

Can this generation get anymore woke? 🤦🏻‍♂️

At least the UK can’t be blamed for this one 👍

Oh pleeeeeeaseeee!!!! Stop with this shit!

Damn Gump! It's the best answer I've ever heard in my entire life

Can you put that black on white.. oh wait..

Best rename white chocolate then cause I find that racist 🙄

Then ive serious concerns about Snow White.. 🤫
