That Time Eric Mason Smeared His Fellow Black Christians As "Angloid On The Inside"

At the 2018 MLK50 conference hosted by the ERLC, pastor Eric Mason engaged in some race essentialism by calling certain black men "not qualified" for leadership in multi-ethnic churches because they are "black on the outside but Angloid on the inside." Angloid is a derogatory term for white people, in the same style as "mongoloid."

I've seen this clip discussed in various places but it hasn't been isolated for easy reference.

—TRANSCRIPT HIGHLIGHT—

Let me tell you right now, multiplicities of negroes ain't feeling evangelicalism. But one of the things I've been, God's been working on me in my heart, is that the root of bitterness sprouting up will defile many. And if I allow myself to stew in my frustration towards whites, Jesus won't be my center. My hatred will.

But on the other hand, whites have to do this. Assume in Jesus' mighty name that because there is an offense, that you need to press into that particular offense and begin to educate yourself on beginning to develop the opportunity to not have reductionistic ways in which you try to cause racial reconciliation. Like through hiring non-qualified African-Americans to be the multi-ethnic engineers in your local churches. And you know they're not qualified because blacks haven't hired them.

And it works against unity when you hire somebody that we not feeling, and you're wondering why multi-ethnicity isn't happening at your church. It's because you have a person that's black on the outside but Angloid on the inside.
