I know many of you must have about the Black Friday trend but few no the history behind it... Undoubtedly it was the number one trending topic in most parts of the world yesterday, including Nigeria.
Historically it's the day after Thanksgiving where stores open early and slash prices of goods to kick off the holiday shopping season. But a group condemning the participation of blacks in the sales day saying it stemmed from slavery.
"They say it was the day after Thanksgiving when slave traders would sell slaves for a discount to assist plantation owners with more helpers for the upcoming winter (for cutting and stacking fire wood, winter proofing etc.), hence the name".. Let me start returning all the goods i bought yesterday.. *wink*
