What's on Your Mind

A Facebook conversation today.
A: Did you know that Black Friday was originally a slave term? Slaveowners would parade their best-looking slaves on the day after Thanksgiving, hoping to sell them at a profit.
B: Actually, it has nothing to do with slaves. It was first used in Pennsylvania in the 1960s. (Links to wikipedia.)
A: Yeah, I don't trust anything on Wikipedia, or anywhere else on the internet. Come at with BOOKS, or NEWS ARTICLES if you want to debate me.
A's original post? A re-post from Toni Braxton's Facebook page.
