Udja!

As regularly as I can during my lunch breaks I try to take a spiritual lesson. Today during lunch I was on my way to town to run an errand so I didn't have much time. It's hard to read while you eat, so I usually watch videos. I figured I had watched my you-tube download of a short lesson on Ogun by a Chief Yuya enough times, and I've learned from somewhere that Thursdays are associated with Jupiter and initiate spirituality. I have often watched titles like 'The Hero's Journey' ,'From Initiation to Adepthood', and 'Awakening and Initiation' by a you-tube spiritual teacher I like called Makalesi on Thursdays. I know she uses a lot of Eurocentric and eurasian stuff and I'm supposed to run away from that. But I consider her black and all that stuff is stolen, right? I also like to make comparisons, especially with the Tree of Life of different cultures. Makalesi does often make references to KMT.

Anyhow I was feeling a little weary to go through old downloads that I've watched over an over; but my food was finishing fast and I had to make a quick choice. Trying to be as relevant to the day as possible, and being online I settled on the video I will post below. I knew I didn't have time to watch the whole thing but I thought an intro would have to suffice; I would return to it later.  

For the first time since I have been schooling myself through you-tube, and quite by accident I must have hit the sub-titles button at the bottom of the screen, and then I noticed something strange. The subtitles seemed to be making a complete mockery of Dr. Umar Johnson's speech; and deliberately. Perhaps I should have posted this thread in the Maths and Science (STEM) forum (I didn't also want to block out the previous thread about the coming eclipse). But I consider myself an initiate of Rastafari, since I have spent 7 days and nights in the hills with them more than once, even in the middle of winter, and by my culture the Rt. Hon Marcus Mosiah Garvey is considered a component of a holy trinity.

Those subtitles were so off that I decided to completely ignore them as I ate, even though I wasn't using speakers and I could only just make out what the speaker was saying. My question is whether the typed words were from a racist joker or some robot that does that with all you-tube videos.

I'm watching it again tomorrow, enjoy if you would; and happy celebration;
