During half time of the big game between Auburn and
Alabama (War Eagle Baby!), I got to thinking. Where did the mass spending
consumption known as Black Friday begin and how did it manage to move it's bum into Thanksgiving.
Whimsically, I thought to myself, at least they can’t blame the Jews for
Black Friday because everyone is shopping for Christmas. Right? How wrong can I be. I am big on facts not opinion so I began with an Internet search for the cause of Black
Friday. Color me surprised to find out that according to some factions, it is,
in fact, the cause of the Jews. The
reasoning, a term I use loosely, is that all the major venues of financial
trade are owned by the Jews. They are
using Christmas to open their stores and line their pockets with the money of
hard working non-Jewish people. You may read
for yourself at www.stormfront.com. (Warning: don't read if you suffer from high blood pressure or random bouts of cursing.)
Well, I don’t want to
make any assumptions to the validity of their information and IQ or lack
thereof without doing a thorough investigation. Who knows? Maybe they are correct and I am
grossly misinformed.
So let me think.
There is me. I am a teacher. There is a Jewish cable guy I know. It
can’t be him lining his pockets with Black Friday gold on the Thursday of
Thanksgiving. I know three Jewish
teachers. Of course we already counted the cable guy. I know an Accountant but I think he takes
that Thursday and Friday off. I know some stay at
home Jewish moms, and one guy that works for a car dealer. So this form of
research only reveals two things. I
really need to get out more and meet more Jewish people. (I told you it is a
small town. There are only a hand full of us.) Black Friday has to be the cause
of the only Jew I know in retail and that is the guy working for Subaru. Time to revamp this research process.
Maybe I should research from the other direction. Which big
companies are owned and operated on the Jewish principal. We know which ones
are owned and operated on the Christian philosophies. Chick Fil A is a given. You need to get out
and about more than me if you didn’t know that! Hobby Lobby is a second. In fact, CNN listed the top 9 Christian based
in one of their own blogs that you can read here…
http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2012/07/24/7-religious-companies-besides-chick-fil-a/ Forever 21, Tom’s, Tyson’s, Service Master, Mary
Kay, Timberland, Alaska Airlines, Marriot, Curves Fitness and Walmart receives
an honorable mention. Walmart states they pick their products to sensitize to
the church goer. Please correct me if my
facts are wrong, but didn’t Walmart and Forever 21 along with other stores open
at 8:00 pm on Thanksgiving?
It took me much longer to find Jewish owned
businesses. Mark Zuckerberg! Ok, Facebook is owned by a Jewish man but it
really isn’t run in line with Judaism or all of you would be without chat from
sundown on Friday until sundown on Saturday. Oh yea, I own a little online
store. I wish were held the world’s retail market. Maybe we don’t because we refuse to
do the crazy mark downs on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. There are many sports
team and media CEO’s or Directors such as ABC, NBC, CBS. I found retail
locations: Macy’s and Tanger Factory
Outlets. Macy’s was also opened at 8:00
pm on Thanksgiving day along with Walmart, Target at 9:00 pm. So yes, Jewish owned and operated companies
did make money. It looks like profits were split by both religious parties. So whose fault is it?!
If you actually
went out to the stores on Thanksgiving to shop then you already know who is
responsible. If a Jew went shopping on Thanksgiving, then it is the
responsibility of that Jew, but not an entire religion. Anyone who left their home after giving thanks for all they had to
go buy more simply because it was on sale is the reason Black Friday moved its
greedy butt into a day of family, friend, love and thankfulness. Yes I went
there! To the but with two t’s. It’s not
an argument of who owns what share of which company. It’s the person that buys
into the paradigm being sold.
