My Thoughts with Derrick Kirk

Africa is one of the world's largest continents. It’s also considered one of the poorest. But that’s not exactly true. Many well-developed nations exploit Africa and ravage its abundant natural resources.

Among the ample resources found on this continent are minerals that are vital to our current technology-driven society. If Africa were to ever cut off the rest of the world and revoke access to these minerals, modern society would fall.

In this video, you’ll discover how powerful Africa really is in the 21st century and how many of its countries have the potential to shape continents at will.

The now-deceased Muammar Gaddafi was an enigmatic figure in Middle Eastern politics and world affairs. His 42 years of political reign make him the longest-serving non-royal leader in the history of the modern Arab world.

Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011 during the Libyan Civil War and killed by rebel fighters who attacked his convoy.

If you've heard about this man, you probably think you know everything there is to know about his regime. If you haven't heard of him, it’s a good thing you’re here. It's time for you to know the leader who successfully united Northern & Southern Libyans.

There’s more to him than meets the eye. In this video, I’ll share insane information and events involving Muammar Gaddafi that you may not have heard anywhere else.

The First Amendment encourages U.S. citizens to actively participate in government. But there’s a problematic subset of citizens called lobbyists who use the money to buy their way into our government and push their agendas. 

Lobbyists contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars, or more, to the election funds of their preferred political candidates. They hold massive fundraisers that line the pockets of their chosen politicians. In exchange for the funds, politicians serve the special interests of lobbyists.

Why is this a problem and just how powerful is lobbying in American politics? I’ll answer those questions for you in this video.

America’s healthcare system is different from other advanced industrialized countries. It does not provide health care to the country's entire population. Instead, most citizens are covered by a combination of private insurance and various federal and state programs.

America’s system is a very impractical way to administer healthcare. First off, the closest thing this country has to government-subsidized healthcare is Medicare. A program that only serves senior citizens. 

Most of America’s healthcare system is privatized, meaning almost every involved entity is for-profit. There are issues with co-pays and deductibles where insurance doesn’t cover 100 percent of your bill, leaving you to figure out how to cover the remaining balance. A good example of this is how many elderly people have Medicare but are still working for secondary insurance or to pay off medical debt.

In this video, we’ll talk about how healthcare in America is unsustainable. And how even with two jobs and two health insurances, you could still find yourself with a stack of unpaid medical bills.

Healthcare in America Means Getting Less Bang for Your Buck

The U.S. President is only one person. Even though he's our country's leader and has a lot of power, he doesn't control everything. In fact, most of what happens in your community as an American citizen happens at a local level—from the schools you attend to the roads you drive on and the police officers who protect you.

Your local government oversees all these things, which means voting for people who will make decisions in those areas is extremely important. Their decisions directly affect your life with a huge impact on how happy and safe you feel.

So go ahead and check out this video to learn more about why you should take voting in local elections more seriously. You might be surprised by what you find! 

Why do Local Elections Matter More Than the Presidential Election?

Martin Luther King Jr. isn’t the only prominent leader who died fighting for the Black community. Many more were assassinated while serving the same cause.

In Part I of The Rise and Fall of the Black Community, you’ll learn more about Black leaders who paid the ultimate price in pursuit of equality. These organizers and activists were so effective that they were seen by racists as threats that needed to be silenced.

We must not only honor their work and remember their names but continue carrying out their missions. It’s up to us to ensure that the death of these leaders is not in vain.

As the world evolves into a more complex version of itself year after year, reforming laws to accommodate societal changes becomes more necessary. This includes LGBTQ+, interracial marriage, and abortion rights.

However, it’s hard to pass bills that support these causes if the lawmakers are old politicians out of touch with reality. Is allowing old people to run the country an issue? Absolutely.

In this video, I’ll talk about why this is a serious problem in American politics that could soon be an issue for the rest of the world as well.

Andrew Tate was an influencer followed by millions. He has a ton of negative, but also positive feedback online. So, what’s the problem? Why was he banned?

An abundance of people canceled him for his opinions and even flagged his videos as hate speech. This led most major social media sites like Instagram and Facebook to ban him from their platforms.

In this video, I’ll discuss why content creators like Andrew Tate should be cautious when offering their opinions online, and how free speech is in danger on social media.

The concept of critical race theory (CRT) has been around for almost half a century, and yet many are new to the idea. Basically, CRT suggests that racism is embedded into our daily lives.

People don’t know whether CRT is a combination of anti-racist and social justice standing, or if CRT is a self-destructive concept that rejects American ideals.

In this video, I’ll explain critical race theory in a crash course that will demonstrate how important it is to a child’s education and development, as well as how we shape our nation.

America is becoming more and more sensitive. We have become more divided as a nation now, more than ever.

Cancel culture is a self-destructive idea of social justice that could empower minorities and destroy individuals. You could get a lot of hate and get canceled indefinitely just by disagreeing with the majority and sharing what seems to be a juvenile idea - a joke.

In my eyes, that is very un-American, so we need to talk about it.

This video is about something much more important than pointing fingers; it's about society's perceived "sensitivity" and what it means for us moving forward.
