It actually refers to the accounting term 'in the black' because it represents the point that most businesses would statistically 'get out of the red and into the black', meaning all sales after that were profitable.

White Friday, just remove every color except white.
Now we're all blind and it feels like I'm playing Unfinished Swan again.
Saying any color is racistunless it's white

TC knew damn while it didn't mean what he said. He's just using a played out joke that was never funny to begin with. Surprised he didn't just do the more common "What about white friday?!" bit

Actually, that is a myth. Google it.

Why is it called Black Friday? The most common answer is that on the day after Thanksgiving, its said that retailers go from being in the red to being in the black, with their profits for the year riding on just how much they can sell before Christmas.
But in fact, the earliest references to that day as Black Friday had little to do with business successthey were about the unusually high rates of work absenteeism the day after Thanksgiving. The shift of the days connotation from negative to positive points to the commercialization of holidays, and is an example of how the meaning of a holiday can shift over time, often as a result of contentious debates.

I think it's dumb to call it anything Friday because every friggin' shop has been having "pre-black friday" sales since before people were decorating for Halloween
