Do you understand the meaning? Usually \u201cBlack\u201d means something is bad. For example, the \u201cBlack Plague\u201d was a disease that killed many people in Europe long ago. However, in business, when you are \u201cin the black\u201d it means you are making money. (Being \u201cin the red\u201d means you are losing money).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cartoon5985.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-279\" src=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cartoon5985.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cartoon5985.png 480w, https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cartoon5985-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For people in America and Canada, Black Friday is a chance to get good prices for Christmas presents. In America, the Thursday before is \u201cThanksgiving Day\u201d, a holiday, so the Friday is a good Christmas shopping day. Many people wait outside stores all night to be the first ones to get inside to get a good deal. In this way, businesses make lots of money and go \u201cin the black\u201d.
