‘BUYER’S REMORSE’ IN THE BARBERSHOP: BLACK MEN REFLECT ON TRUMP’S SECOND TERM IMPACT

Описание: A powerful conversation inside a Miami barbershop has sparked renewed discussion about how Donald Trump’s second term is being felt across Black communities in South Florida. Hosted at Topcuttaz Barbershop in Miami Gardens, educators, business owners, activists, and community leaders gathered to talk openly about economic setbacks, policy changes, and shifting political attitudes.

Local business owners say tighter budgets have changed daily life, including routine services like haircuts that many families now space out due to financial strain. Federal data shows Black unemployment ticking upward, while workforce cuts and rollbacks in diversity and inclusion programs have created uncertainty for many workers. Educators at the roundtable also raised concerns about changes in school standards and the broader cultural climate.

Participants described increasing stress and instability, with community groups and churches stepping in to provide counseling, training, and support. Despite regret over previous political decisions, the men emphasized unity, self-reliance, and rebuilding. Many hope these conversations will inspire more civic engagement and help communities better prepare for future challenges.

Their message is clear: reflection is important—but so is charting a stronger path forward.
