On Thursday,
OKCupid announced it’s rolling down a #BlackLivesMatter
(Opens in a fresh loss)
badge in twelve nations. Consumers can buy the badge by responding to yes on the question, “do you wish to offer the #BlackLivesMatter motion adding a badge to your profile?”
Since badges won’t actually do almost anything to solve racism, OKCupid in addition has donated $50,000 into the ACLU, Black women Code, Fair combat Action and NAACP. The app might contribute so many bucks in ad space to black civil rights companies.
Aside from the badge, OKCupid has included coordinating questions connected with racial injustice and inequality. Customers can answer if they protest; whether it’s okay to quietly support racial equality; the way they plan on handling racial inequality (say by donating or protesting); and whether they believe it is important that their particular day supports racial equivalence.

In past times few days, over 100,000 users have actually responded to new questions. The vast majority of stated it isn’t ok to silently help equality, per OKCupid’s blog post. 70 % are protesting for racial equality.
This is simply not the 1st time OKCupid has established badges and concerns around personal justice. They performed thus with

and

. Even though the badge maybe seen by some as virtual signaling, the questions do enable customers to enjoy deeper into a prospective match’s commitment to racial equality â that’s one step in the correct way.
