The term "Black Friday" in the context of sales does not originate from the sale of slaves. Historically, "Black Friday" was used to describe the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, marking the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. There is a separate, darker historical reference to "black" in relation to the slave trade, but it is not connected to the modern retail event. The modern usage of "Black Friday" is purely commercial.
