Match Group's BLK,eroticism pic a dating app for Black singles, just rolled out its "Break the Bank 2.0: Black Tax Giveaway" initiative. The program addresses the Black tax, a financial strain felt by Black people in supporting their families and communities.

The Black tax isn't an official tax, but it's a significant, intergenerational issue in the Black community, BLK's press release stated. It often results from systematic racism and income inequality, which limits Black people from building wealth and accessing resources.

A recent survey the app conducted found that 79 percent of Black singles were unaware of the term until now, but that 44 percent of Gen Z and one in three Black singles over 40 support their families due to this financial burden. It takes a toll: 46 percent of respondents said their mental and emotional well-being has been negatively impacted. The Black tax affects the dating life of 28 percent of respondents, as well, resulting in less money for dates and lack of quality time.
