What is “Black Friday” exactly? Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, Nov. 26th 2010, when retailers typically see profits and are “out of the red” and into the black ink. This dates back to old accounting practices which used red ink to designate negative amounts and black ink as positive amounts on their books.
