Black Friday is the day after the American Thanksgiving, it is the beginning of the Christmas shopping frenzy and is believed to be the busiest day of retail sales of the year.
There is nothing supernatural about the day, it is simply a day given up to rampant consumerism and the perpetuation of greed. As companies struggle to get their "share" of the profits stores have been opening earlier and earlier making the lives of their employees more and more difficult. Anyone who has ever worked in a store on that day will attest to the "black"-ness of it.

Black Friday refers to the shopping holiday, thanks in part to retailers, going "black" in accounting terms (meaning they now make profit for the holiday season on the much celebrated shopping day). Friday the 13th was made popular by the horror movie series, but was named that due to the #13 being considered bad luck.
