Social critic criticisms...Black Thursday and Black Friday

Troy York


Black Friday is a national disgrace in a country full of cultural disgraces and the amount of time and planning mostly women do for these days is shameful. Another Black Friday came and another round of injuries and battles among people who live in a society that tells them to spend money in order to save money. Just the logic behind that premise shows just how trully pathetic people are who helped turn a family holiday into a shopping event. The whole notion of holiday was meant for a day off from hectic life most face and enjoy moments with family and loved ones. What has occurred in America in the past few decades of corporate cultural control has seen a change to spend it with strangers in a big store.
  One innovation that I believe has been leading the charge of these black Thursday and Friday big box shopping kiss ass culture has been a change that is little talked about in this regard. The increase of immigrants that come here primarily for the American consumer culture and hold little value in holiday American traditions such as Thanksgiving is the main reason in my mind to why we are witnessing these terrible holiday debacles in strip malls. Add that to the fact that many of these people have little else to enjoy in their life other than the competitive search and victory over a five dollar bargain is to why we have this Black Friday madness. These events did not occur before the great tidal wave of immigration from a world that was in love of American consumer culture and they have now helped a more ominous holiday tradition that injuries and sometimes kills people. A woman tasered  another woman in a store and it is only a matter of time before people start shooting one another in the spirit of the times for that perfect gift. America and the new immigrants are a joke.
