So...

Why is everything cheap on Black Friday? Why can't it be Red Friday? Why it gotta be black?

The day's name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. Use of the term began by 1966 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation began to be offered: that "Black Friday" indicates the period during which retailers are turning a profit, or "in the black.

Negative profits are printed in red, positive profits in black. Black Friday puts them back 'in the black'.

It's black friday cause all the black people rush to walmart on this day.
(This is what my other friend told me. It has to be true.)
