Black Friday was the Great Depression in America at the Wall Street Crash when the Stock Market crashed. So technically, yes.

Answer: The term as currently used in the United States refers to the day after Thanksgiving. The biggest shopping day of the year, merchants traditionally can go from being "in the red"--having a deficit--to being "in the black"--showing a profit. Since Thanksgiving is always a Thursday, retailers refer to this as "Black Friday." Is it a shopping day? Heck, yes. Many retailers open at ridiculously early hours (4 am, for example) with amazing sales. The catch is that there are a limited number of those items available. The early shoppers get the best deals.
