Black Fridays and Co
- One of the “Summum of Hypocrisy” series
Somebody, please, someone, explain why it is that Black Friday is not a racist, discriminatory expression? Why not? Because the Marketing and Sales management text-books say so?
And by comparison, may we ask (even if we may not, by rule of sanctions): why is it that talking about Palestinian Rights, just mentioning the forbidden word, is labelled anti-Semitic, considering that Palestinians are Semites and that the “creators-perpetrators” of the mentioned sanction are not? And Black Friday is not racism against Black people? And neither are Black Market, Black November, Black Widow and the whole list of pejorative “Black Series” expressions?
Can anyone advance a natural, human, logical, philosophical, moral, ethical, legal, scientific, historical, cultural, anthropological, even “gentile”, as the case may be, convincing answer
No?? No answer? I thought not.
So let’s sing together: “What a Hypocritical World !”…
