Eat well tonight. Go for lots of carbs and proteins. You are going to need that energy when you are kicking people’s asses tomorrow in the mall parking lots across America.
It is always funny to me the words we choose to describe our states of being. I love that Black Friday, the Friday after Thanksgiving, has several connotations depending on where in the food chain you participate in the day.
Some media outlets say that Black Friday is the busiest shopping day of the year. This isn’t true, it’s just part of the media hype to nudge consumers. The weekends and the day before Christmas are the busiest shopping days, in terms of traffic and receipts.
The ‘Black’ in this Black Friday refers to retailers finally returning to the positive side of their accounting ledgers. That is also more hype. Retailers make money from the American consumer at a dizzying rate. Consumer spending makes up 3/4’s of the U.S. economy. Every payday in America is a Black Friday.
The history behind the term ‘Black Friday’ actually comes from the Philadelphia police department when they were confronted with all the negroes flooding the center city Broad Street district for shopping and revelry the day after Thanksgiving. I always wondered why the ‘hood treated the Friday like a holiday unto itself. Sheeeeit, we had off from school didn’t we?
Now that I am older I see Black Friday as the greatest day for cat fights and various unsociable nonsense. There will be thousands, if not millions of people out and about who don’t normally leave their homes or enclaves. Psychopaths, deviants, retards, cripples and mostly just people that hate other people will be in the presence of other people.
I feel like taking my camera out into the streets to document the madness, but I will need both hands to fight with people.
Before there was the Galleria in Center City, I too was one of the many contributing to the crowds due to boredom and having no life out of school. Now, I am afraid of pickpockets, bag snatchers and other riffraff gathering in public places…I fux with post orders in a MAJOR way, lol!
