The Mystery of the Origin of Black Friday Revealed

The high mass of consumer religion or mind control ?

I’ve been occupied all week with black Friday.

Maybe because I was born on Friday the 13th?

In my Western Dutch Christian Culture, Friday and black stand for something negative, something to be afraid of, something that brings bad luck.

Superstition aside, the rite of Black Friday, the almost religious collective mass of consumerism in the West, sparked a genuine curiosity to investigate its roots.

Is it purely economical? or maybe some religious or even ‘conspiracy’ theme?

Let’s dive in with an open mind, as so many of you will dive into the shops today, leaving you with an empty wallet but new, shiny, happy products.

For a better life.

A day signalling economic prosperity instead of red debt?

This first reason seems rather odd.

The general belief is that when negative numbers on companies' balance sheets show red, the opposite should naturally be black.

Meaning profit. Or not showing any loss.
