      American culture is supposed to be fun but it has not been taught to our immigrants correctly. Mom and Grandma are suppose to shop together, and Dad with Grandpa or they take turns watching the kids, so the gifts will be a surprise on Christmas morning. Black Friday is an accounting term when the clerks switch from red ink to black ink representing a profit. Being in the black means extra money after expenses for retailers. Merchants are preparing for the end of the tax season and start of the new calendar year.

      Yeah, but you gotta be careful if you're a woman because someone will either grope you or stuff their cellphone up your skirt to take a pic.

    It just discounts items

    These countries looks beautiful from outside, but has alot of problems like this!
    Maybe if they make website or app as an example? and put all these products online and allow these people reserves and compete online by specific rules?, the organizers or governments cant handle a high number of people and to avoid accidents that could lead to fights and harm others?! Plus people waiting outside and wasting their times?
    the companies and businesses can earn more money to deliver these products to these people doors plus benifits others as shipping companies? Or they gives each person a number online plus a time to go to specific store and take what they reserved online?
    Maybe it will looks more attractive and more organized for companies and people?

      USA rescues people from slavery and oppression everyday while creating a variety of honest paying jobs so future generations can get out of sin. We have always fought corruption in several areas at the same time, Anti America propaganda started by foreign governments chasing defectors, is nothing new. God bless America through Jesus Christ.

    Black Friday has always been celebrated in Scotland as the last Friday before Christmas. A day of celebration friends family and excessive alcohol consumption. In the last 2 years has been hijacked by American consumerism and turned into a money day/with media jumping straight onto the bandwagon!
