American missionary in Uganda accused of calling black children ‘monkeys’ so he justifies himself: ‘why would I want to be around these people’

Digital creator Eric Bryan Stone said he found allegations against 21-year-old American missionary Mac Miller after reviewing comments on a video that showed two white women dancing with a group of Black men. Stone said one of those comments came from Miller.

Stone said Miller had been based in Mukono, Uganda, where he regularly posted videos of himself sharing evangelical messages, working with local youth, and describing plans to build a church. Mukono is the site of Uganda Christian University and has hosted Western ministries and Christian outreach for about 150 years.

Stone said Miller’s online activity included liking a comment that read, “What’s your biggest red flag? Being brown.” Stone also said Miller replied with a salute emoji to a post from user “petercoleslanguages” that stated, “This is why we’re better than Africans.”

Miller said threats in Uganda led him to leave the country

According to Atlanta Black Star, Stone said Miller responded to an African woman who told him his skin was soft. Miller replied, “My skin’s soft because I’m white, but because you’re Black, you have hard skin.” Stone said Miller also called children in the village “monkeys” in another video. Miller’s remarks are part of a broader pattern of racist encounters, like when a Black woman in California received a letter telling her the place belongs to Armenian and white people.

Stone said the posts drew strong criticism online. Activists in Uganda called on police and immigration officials to review Miller’s conduct and visa status, and a push to have him deported began to spread. “I decided to do what I do best and expose them for who they are,” Stone said in his video.

Miller apparently left the country earlier this month. He said the departure was his own choice and that hostility in the area forced him out. Allegations of racial profiling extend beyond Miller’s case, as when a lady behind a black man at a Walmart in Oklahoma asked for his green card. Ghanaian content creator Kobe Boujee shared a video of Miller on X in which Miller said he left “because of animals, people with low impulse control that were threatening my life because I said something.”

Miller continued, “So why would I want to be around these people when they’re so easily enticed to violence.” He said he would not go back and told others not to travel to Africa.
