Black Friday Isn't Racist, You Unprepossessing Moron

I don't watch the View.  I would rather dry sand my eyeballs than sit for an hour listening to three liberal morons shout down one psuedo conservative.  But from time to time the sheer stupidity of one of them makes the rounds.
Recently Joy Behar worried that 'Black Friday' sales were racist. She should try cognitive thought. It's all the rage these days.
To educate the ignorant Ms. Behar- there is a term for being financially solvent.  "In the black" has come to mean that an entity is out of the red and into solvency.  Black Friday sales mean that a store is going to be in the profitable category.  For those of us who actually work and produce things (besides hot air and asinine comments) this is a very big deal.
Does it hurt to take five minutes and research something?  Surely even her phone can google something, can't it?
One thing that I do think can be curbed is the urge to be open on Thanksgiving night to jump start the sales.  I understand how retail works.  For ten years I was mandated to work on every Holiday except Christmas.  Now that I call the shots, I won't do it.  If you need something desperately on a Sunday or Holiday, give me a call. I will open for five minutes while you make your purchase.  But I won't open for the day.  That's crazy talk.
In the current economy everyone has to do whatever they can to make it.  Five summers past the 'recovery' still finds many people hurting.  I understand that.  But it isn't that much of a stretch to do the right thing for families and close down on Holidays, is it?
When I was younger, we had to plan a head for Holidays.  Everyone knew that the only thing open on Christmas day was the convenience store gas station.  If you needed marshmallows, your only choice was to borrow or pay three bucks for them.  You learned to think ahead.
I hope we all have a blessed Holiday.  Remember that it is  Jesus's birthday ( and yes, I know He was more than likely born in the Spring, but we are celebrating His birth, get over it) and enjoy your families and loved ones.
They will still love you, even if you didn't slap someone out of the way of the latest new video game on sale.  Think about it, you'll thank me later.
