A few years ago, the American government decided to move Thanksgiving Day up one week from the last Thursday of November to the second to the last week of the November.
The reason?
To give shoppers more time to buy Christmas gifts and such...That was taken with much hostility, and it's now back to the last Thursday of November.

i don't think it's a non-respect type of way just because of Black Friday.
yes, most of americans keep in mind about black friday and go out and buy things (sometimes wildly), but it's just the same as christmas.
i don't see how there is no respect towards that. since even though it's black friday, ppl will just spend time with their families (also) while going out and buy things.
also, the reason the gov move back to last thursday of the month was prob because they want ppl to spend time with their families shopping for Black Friday.
