A Black day is when a person of color, specifically an African-American or an American person of African heritage or any person who identifies as black takes a day off from work from the mental and emotional fatigue for being Black at work or in their place of employment. This term was created after the verdict was delivered from the trial of the former police officer convicted of the murder of George Floyd. A black person was reluctant to return to work for fear of the onslaught of inquiries by well-intentioned white people who would ask “what do you think of the verdict?”.
“I was so exhausted yesterday from work that today I took a Black day.”
