First Black Friday

Categories

Explanation

Experiment

The joke plays on the term "Black Friday" which is associated with shopping and sales, but uses the historical date 1619, which is when the first enslaved Africans were brought to the American colonies. This makes a dark connection between a modern shopping event and a grim historical event. The humor comes from the unexpected and morbid twist.
