It is so named because many retailers do so much business between Thanksgiving and Christmas that they are said to "go into the black" (become profitable) as of Black Friday.  However, now "Black Friday" is beginning ever earlier - at midnight headed into Friday in some places.  Also, the crowds are huge and people have died (literally) being trampled in the stampede into stores when they open.
