00:00:04Living here in Tanzania, you have to have a gun.
00:00:08We have witnesses, there have been reports of lions roaming around.
00:00:13But anyone who is not a Tanzanian requesting to possess a firearm
00:00:18must first get permission from their embassy.
00:00:21Now this is a crazy scenario.
00:00:23Pete O'Neil, former Black Panther in exile, has to go to the United States Embassy
00:00:30to request a license for a 12-gauge shotgun.
00:00:34And it was a 12-gauge shotgun in 1970 that led to my spending 32 years in Africa.
00:00:58As a member of the Black Panther Party, I was arrested on the very bogus charge
00:01:03of transporting a gun across state lines.
00:01:06I had had some very serious run-ins with the police in Kansas City and with the FBI as well.
00:01:12The policeman had seriously indicated that I would die if I went to prison.
00:01:17So my wife Charlotte and I left the United States and chose to go into exile.
00:01:26After having spent two years in Algeria, we came here to Arusha, Tanzania.
00:01:33And we've been here ever since.
00:01:39This pipe goes to our village.
00:01:41That's cool.
00:01:44This is the time.
00:01:45This is in значит.
00:01:49They will be here.
00:01:49So here's where the elephants have been stepping.
00:01:51They need to be the place where it's going in.
00:01:54They are where they take them.
00:01:56They have something.
00:01:57They have a scoop, they will be in the sabele.
00:01:59They have a scoop.
00:02:00So these are how the elephants take and grab by
00:02:03with their tusks and pull out the pipe and break them.
00:02:16I'm hoping and praying that this will perhaps alleviate some of our water problems.
00:02:21Doesn't look very promising right now, but fingers crossed.
00:02:36When I brought Charlotte out here, she was 19 years old.
00:02:39She'd never been away from home.
00:02:41And I was 30 then.
00:02:45I cannot imagine that I would have been able to succeed without her.
00:02:50I do not have the ability to deal with details. I can't.
00:02:56Charlotte coordinates everything.
00:02:58Pete? Pete?
00:03:01Sorry to be so rushed, rushed, but I got another meeting this afternoon.
00:03:04I need to know how we can do today.
00:03:07Because, you know, I got to go to Rotary.
00:03:09And then I got this...
00:03:11I know this is a running day.
00:03:13They got me going.
00:03:15I'm just trying to work out how we can do transit.
00:03:17I can be a little impatient at times and have developed into a grumpy old man.
00:03:23Are you leaving now?
00:03:24And Charlotte is angelic by nature.
00:03:32I'm setting a new record for cholesterol.
00:03:34I'm going to be the first person to have a cholesterol level of 589 and survive.
00:03:40I'm telling you.
00:03:55I'm telling you.
00:03:57Good morning.
00:03:59Good morning.
00:03:59How y'all doing?
00:04:00Good morning.
00:04:02Our differing personalities have combined to create a whole that has been extraordinarily productive.
00:04:15We'd like to welcome you all to the United African American Community Center.
00:04:20Myself, Charlotte O'Neal.
00:04:22My husband, Pete O'Neal, founded the United African American Community Center in 91.
00:04:2891.
00:04:29But we have been doing community work for years and years in Kansas City as members of the Black Panther
00:04:36Party,
00:04:36where we fed more than 750 children every day and had free medical clinics.
00:04:42When people think of the Black Panther Party mostly due to the media,
00:04:46they think of young men with guns and berets and leather jackets, and that's true.
00:04:52But we were much more than that.
00:04:56The really good things about the Black Panther Party was the manner in which it served the community.
00:05:02How old is he? How old is he?
00:05:06He is 11.
00:05:07If you look at what we're doing right now, you would find it difficult to distinguish the community work we
00:05:13were doing back in the day
00:05:14and the community work we're doing now.
00:05:17Do you know we're dealing with 90 students a day?
00:05:21How are you, Asha? I'm fine, all right?
00:05:23If we have someone who has ability to teach English, we teach English.
00:05:29If we find volunteers who have computer skills, they teach computers to our young people.
00:05:40Human. HIV is a human virus.
00:05:44What we're trying to do here is create a microcosm of what we feel the world should be.
00:05:48People of all races, all cultures, all traditions come together and live and work for common goals.
00:06:09In 1968, I started to read about the Black Panther Party. I went to Oakland, California. I talked with the
00:06:16people who were running the party there. And we established the Kansas City chapter of the Black Panther Party.
00:06:22The Black Panther Party is officially in Kansas City.
00:06:28The Black Panther Party came into existence to try to control these mad dog policemen who were brutalizing people in
00:06:36the black community.
00:06:37The city of our black community. Of our black community.
00:06:41Right on.
00:06:42Our breakfast for school children program. Our counseling programs. Our clothing programs. All evolved from that original foundation.
00:06:53Before the Black Panther Party.
00:06:56Before the Black Panther Party. I did many things that by anyone's standards would be considered wrong.
00:07:02The Black Panther Party turned my life dramatically around.
00:07:07The Black Panther Party.
00:07:08The Black Panther Party turned my life to be a mother, Mr. Charlie.
00:07:08I said, what did you do to say?
00:07:11How did you do see a lot of the elders in the village?
00:07:11How did you do see a lot of the elders would view this?
00:07:15How did you do to tell them that?
00:07:15Who was this?
00:07:15I said, oh that's Mama Charlotte.
00:07:17They say, who?
00:07:18What's she doing with a gun?
00:07:20Is she going hunting or what?
00:07:24Do you remember when we first came to Dalsalahan to Tanzania?
00:07:27And I remember when we walked out of that airport and how warm it was, and it was those coconut
00:07:34trees, you know.
00:07:36I said, Pete, I love this. This is like coming home. And it really was.
00:07:42You had this puzzled expression on your face. I don't know what that meant.
00:07:47Do you know when I got off the plane here, and this is the truth, Shirley, all kidding aside now,
00:07:53I didn't have a good feeling.
00:07:55I just didn't, sister. And we've talked about this a lot, and I generally make light of it.
00:08:00But to me, it was just like I had gotten too far away from everything that I knew.
00:08:06And it amazes me how you didn't feel that way. I guess you were just as happy as a dead
00:08:11pig in the sunshine, huh?
00:08:12For me, I was saying, oh, boy. I saw the tin roofs with the rusted iron, and I said, uh
00:08:21-oh.
00:08:21I said, we are in for some, for a different kind of life.
00:08:29I said, oh, my God, should we not get any more?
00:08:33I said, I said, oh, my God, will I have a walk?
00:08:39Wait a minute. Wait a minute. How much is it, uh?
00:08:41Let me know, wait a minute. How much is it, uh?
00:09:13I'll spend most of my life shopping and buying supplies.
00:09:18We feed 20 to 30 people daily.
00:09:21We've got our programs, we have student groups coming through, we've got all these people
00:09:26visiting.
00:09:26We've got people on honeymoon, people just passing through.
00:09:31We are in constant motion.
00:09:43I have a peaceful kind of floating in the clouds.
00:09:46That's nature, that's just me and it balances out the way Pete is because he's more hyper
00:09:53and he sweats things more than I do.
00:09:57But he's very different from the way I remember him back in the day.
00:10:03I've watched him grow to be very tolerant of all kinds of people's opinions.
00:10:09Where I think years ago, if you wasn't down with the program, you know, you couldn't
00:10:16hardly say anything to him.
00:10:18You know what I mean?
00:10:25We don't see any racial problems in Birmingham.
00:10:27No.
00:10:28Scott and I live there and we love it.
00:10:30We both live fairly Anglo lives in Alabama.
00:10:35I don't have that much interaction with inner city blacks or anything, but I don't feel threatened
00:10:41walking down the street.
00:10:42And there's no chip on my shoulder and as far as I can tell, no chip on any of their
00:10:45shoulders.
00:10:45Well, that was going to be my next question.
00:10:47How, I was going to ask you, how did you think blacks felt there?
00:10:50You're talking about where, Birmingham?
00:10:51But now, Birmingham, not 14 years ago.
00:10:54No, of course not.
00:10:54But I wanted to ask you, how do they feel?
00:10:56I don't agree with what Claire says, but I still notice that throughout the African-American
00:11:01community, I still think there are a lot of young people who still sense some resentment
00:11:05and get choked by the anger and the resentment and can't break out of that and almost wallow at
00:11:13times in the anger and the resentment and instead of taking that energy and moving forward,
00:11:19it serves as a hindrance to their moving forward.
00:11:23There may be some truth in that.
00:11:25But can you imagine how difficult it is to forge your head?
00:11:28I don't know how.
00:11:29No, you don't, sir.
00:11:30And when you have never had an opportunity, educationally, when you-
00:11:34But you don't know what it's like to be a white male in the South either.
00:11:37It ain't all bread and roses.
00:11:39I mean, it's-
00:11:40Whites weren't slaves for centuries.
00:11:42But we don't live on the big rock candy mountain and the money doesn't grow on trees
00:11:46and it's not even easy for a white person either.
00:11:50It's hard, Pete.
00:11:51It's not easy.
00:11:51It's not easy for whites.
00:11:53No, it's not.
00:11:53I agree with you.
00:11:54Right, right.
00:11:55It's not-
00:11:55But you certainly, in any kind of intellectual honesty, you can't compare that-
00:12:00No, I-
00:12:00With what blacks went.
00:12:01You were too intelligent a man-
00:12:03No, no, no.
00:12:03I definitely agree with that.
00:12:04To look at people-
00:12:04I will definitely agree with that.
00:12:05People that were treated like cows and chickens-
00:12:08I definitely, 100%.
00:12:08Were denied bread was against the law to know how to read for centuries.
00:12:12Now, what's the solution?
00:12:14The first thing, in all of these problems that we talked about, I can give you the solution.
00:12:19The first thing is to admit.
00:12:21And that's hard.
00:12:23That's the hardest thing.
00:12:24That's the hardest part.
00:12:25Sure.
00:12:25And particularly for whites.
00:12:27Not a white man never will be.
00:12:28But I can imagine this is the most difficult thing whites will ever have to do.
00:12:32Is to admit categorically that we have had serious problems.
00:12:38We can't sugarcoat them.
00:12:40We can't cast blame on the victim.
00:12:43We have to say, hey, we screwed up.
00:12:45This was wrong.
00:12:46What can we do to make it right?
00:12:51Sister, sister, sister.
00:12:53Hmm.
00:12:53If you could have heard some of the stuff that came out of their mouth.
00:12:57Lord.
00:12:58Part of the problem, no, damn it, he said the problem, and I'm paraphrasing, was that
00:13:06young blacks have resentment in their heart.
00:13:10Well, what in the hell do you expect to have?
00:13:13So many people have a lack of knowledge about the sixties and the seventies and the whole
00:13:18and the civil rights era and all of that, you know?
00:13:21Yeah.
00:13:21It's like they've been living in complete isolation.
00:13:24Isolation and have no idea.
00:13:25Or even about the rest of the world.
00:13:28That's, that's what blows my mind too.
00:13:30We'll find people that'll come in our presence now and they'll talk about social issues and
00:13:35racial issues and things like this.
00:13:37But these are things they don't think about when they're not, and they think they have
00:13:41to do this in our presence.
00:13:43And they mean well.
00:13:44That's the killer.
00:13:45This is the killer.
00:13:46This is the killer.
00:13:46Yeah.
00:13:47They think in their mind that they are being as progressive and they're saying, look,
00:13:54look, it's really your fault.
00:13:56He said it's your fault.
00:13:57Are you playing, you're a big part of the problem.
00:14:00Yeah.
00:14:00But he means well.
00:14:01Yeah.
00:14:02I don't like that.
00:14:02Do you?
00:14:03I know that's a big part of what we talk about and what we try to do, but I don't
00:14:07like it.
00:14:08Do you?
00:14:09Truthfully.
00:14:09You mean dealing with those issues?
00:14:10No.
00:14:11I'm talking about the whole cross cultural thing when it, when it, when it brings that
00:14:16uncomfortable feeling, you know, I'd really, I'm not going to do this, but I'd really
00:14:21just say, Hey, take that shit out of here.
00:14:23You know, has there been any cooling off between you and the police in Kansas city?
00:14:28None whatsoever.
00:14:29There can never be any cooling off between the black Panther party and the racist pigs,
00:14:33regardless of what level of pigs we're talking about until all oppression has been ended until
00:14:38we've seen them all sent to their graves.
00:14:40When I look at that footage, I'm a little impressed with myself that I had the fortitude
00:14:46to say this and to say it on national TV.
00:14:51I have no qualms about what we were struggling for in the black Panther party.
00:14:55I think they were right.
00:14:57That's ludicrous.
00:14:58But when I see myself adopting a totally unreasonable stance, it almost says to me,
00:15:04I could have dealt with that better.
00:15:07And Eldridge Cleaver made the statement that he would like to go into the Senate, to shoot
00:15:12his way into the Senate and take McCollum's head.
00:15:14Well, while Eldridge is doing that, I would like very much to shoot my way into the House
00:15:18of Representatives and get this racist, lying Icard's head.
00:15:22The interviewer, when I said that I wanted to take Congressman Icard's head, who headed
00:15:26the investigation against me, he said,
00:15:31Now, when you say you want to take his head, you don't mean that literally.
00:15:37And I said, I mean it literally, I'd like to do that.
00:15:40And perhaps I did.
00:15:42Perhaps at that time I was thinking that going into the House of Representatives and taking
00:15:48the head of Icard would somehow further the revolution.
00:15:53Well, if that's how I thought then, it's not a reflection of how I feel now.
00:16:01What I need to do is just really practice the pronunciation.
00:16:05To me pata.
00:16:07See, I'm getting struggling already.
00:16:09Try to use it.
00:16:10Okay.
00:16:12To me pata, muafaka.
00:16:17First, tell me the meaning.
00:16:18What does it mean?
00:16:19The meaning is understanding.
00:16:21Understanding.
00:16:21Like between you and I.
00:16:23Yeah.
00:16:23Say we quarreled on certain matters.
00:16:26Yes.
00:16:26And then we said, okay, let's forget about our differences.
00:16:30Yes.
00:16:31So that understanding is called muafaka.
00:16:35Good Lord in heaven.
00:16:40Muafaka.
00:16:41Muafaka.
00:16:42Okay.
00:16:44I understand why you try to avoid using that word.
00:16:48Yes, I am.
00:16:49Because there's a phrase in English that sounds very similar.
00:16:53And it means, certainly does not mean understanding.
00:16:57You know.
00:16:58Yes.
00:16:59When Peter came to Tanzania, he was young, provocative, very rough.
00:17:06I remember, you cannot talk to Peter three words without exchanging horrible words.
00:17:21One day in town, he had this panga, a big knife.
00:17:26And I don't know what happened.
00:17:28But he chased a man with his knife.
00:17:32So a lot of people came out.
00:17:34And everybody was saying, wow, wow.
00:17:36What is this?
00:17:37What is this?
00:17:38Then we saw it was Peter in Tanzania.
00:17:43We don't do that.
00:17:45If you hate somebody, there is a way of giving the message that I don't like you.
00:17:52But not chasing him in front of people with a panga, with a knife, it doesn't happen.
00:18:04When Peter came here, he had some problems in his mind.
00:18:10I think he has some frustrations from America.
00:18:38I love the Tanzanian people.
00:18:40I think they are gentle, considerate, lovey.
00:18:43Loving people.
00:18:44And things are so much more mellow here.
00:18:47So much more polite.
00:18:48But it's hard for me.
00:18:52Oftentimes the elders will stop me and want to talk about some issue.
00:18:56I'm still with that little bit of Americanism in me, want to rush and do what I have to do.
00:19:03I am required to visit regularly, to bring gifts when I do so, and I must express the highest form
00:19:12of respect.
00:19:14I have to struggle with it.
00:19:16Don't do it this way.
00:19:17Don't say it that way.
00:19:18Be polite.
00:19:19This is a daily struggle for me.
00:19:27Yesterday, I received an email about my lawyer.
00:19:31It's done so much dramatic will take place with our efforts to have my conviction thrown out and my legal
00:19:39situation.
00:19:39I really believe that.
00:19:45Now, what was that woman that was the Attorney General under Clinton?
00:19:49Janet Reno.
00:19:50That's it.
00:19:51This case even reached her desk.
00:19:54And she was, in a sense, sympathetic.
00:19:57She said, yes, I couldn't agree more that his conviction was probably politically motivated.
00:20:04She said, but it's going to have to be resolved in the courts or either a presidential pardon.
00:20:09Anyway, we'll see what happens.
00:20:10I'm confident, however, that eventually I will prevail.
00:20:15Somebody else give me a question.
00:20:17Okay.
00:20:17There's a tattoo over there.
00:20:19Oh, Lord, I knew someone would see that.
00:20:21You're the first one.
00:20:22Yeah.
00:20:22These were put on me when I was in the Navy.
00:20:25This faded, said Pete.
00:20:28This one says, Mom, I've never in my life called my mother Mom.
00:20:32Never in my entire life.
00:20:34Now, the creme de la creme.
00:20:36You ready?
00:20:37Yeah.
00:20:37Are we prepared for this?
00:20:39Is this one, which is a, what could, what could I have been thinking?
00:20:44A turtle?
00:20:46Man, I've got stuff on me that I said, Lord, please let no one see it before I die.
00:20:51You know?
00:20:52And you want to know one I got in Hong Kong?
00:20:54Let me show you.
00:20:55You want to see it?
00:20:55Yes, sir.
00:20:56This is not going to be salacious or anything.
00:20:58Don't get upset or worried.
00:21:00This is a Black Panther that I had put on in Hong Kong in 1958, long before a Black Panther
00:21:08party was ever thought about.
00:21:09Isn't that a little odd coincidence?
00:21:11Isn't that something?
00:21:12Yeah.
00:21:12We work with a lot of organizations, universities, and study abroad programs.
00:21:19Tourists come out here and they give us donations for staying here with us.
00:21:23So this is how we survive financially.
00:21:25We operate and we function on a wing and a prayer.
00:21:38You see, we're talking about water situations, sister, it's bad.
00:21:42This could get disastrous, you know?
00:21:45Let me tell you, everybody, may I make a suggestion?
00:21:48Please forgive the indelicate subject at the dinner table.
00:21:52But when you pee, don't flush the toilet.
00:21:54Do not flush the toilet when you pee.
00:21:56And when you take showers, please be brief.
00:22:09One of our major difficulties in living here in this village is our lack of water.
00:22:15And the fact that our water supply is so uncertain.
00:22:21When there's no rain, everybody's battling trying to get a little bit more water.
00:22:27Oh, this can't be.
00:22:29This is a holy mess.
00:22:33There's a trickle of water coming in from the park.
00:22:36The water is the absolute last of our reserves.
00:22:40We have nothing else.
00:22:49Today's video we're going to be familiar to people's ending.
00:22:49We have a really hard stomach ache.
00:22:51I started getting fever.
00:22:52And now I'm coughing a lot.
00:22:54I think it's bronchitis.
00:22:55I've had it before.
00:22:56And now I'm throwing up.
00:22:57I can't eat anything.
00:23:01I've been on a temperature between 100 and 101 for three days.
00:23:06Do you have headache?
00:23:07Yes.
00:23:08It's not real bad, but I do have headache.
00:23:11At first I thought maybe it was malaria, then secure.
00:23:25Yeah, there is scant malaria, so you will need some antibiotics also.
00:23:30And the anti-malaria.
00:23:44So it's a double win.
00:23:46So you got bronchitis, you got malaria?
00:23:49That's right.
00:23:51How did you know that was afraid of typhoid?
00:23:55I'm not hearing that.
00:23:57I bet your head was hurting though.
00:23:58Yeah, I'm not hearing that.
00:24:10You got to worry about things like malaria parasites.
00:24:14There's other parasites that you got to always be aware of.
00:24:18There's all kinds of problems that would be different in the states and non-existent states.
00:24:23But then when I look around and see all these trees and all this beauty and the birds singing,
00:24:29I know I can go around the compound and go into the classroom and see all those students, you know,
00:24:35working and thriving.
00:24:38Any kind of inconvenience that we experience is nothing compared to that.
00:24:43Because I know we wouldn't be able to live a life like this in the states. No way.
00:24:48Charlotte is probably one of the most positive human beings that I've ever met in my life and she can
00:24:54deal with anything.
00:24:56But we get malaria far too much.
00:24:58We actually are getting malaria three and four times a year.
00:25:08It's the most horrendous disease.
00:25:11I think malaria kills more people in the suburbs, Saharan Africa, than anything else, including AIDS.
00:25:18The parasites hide in the liver.
00:25:20And at times of stress, they come out.
00:25:23Okay, you can completely rid them out of your body.
00:25:26Aching and chills and sweating and fever.
00:25:31It's horrible.
00:25:34This is just taking...
00:25:38That's so nice we got a show like this we can enjoy.
00:25:41Did it.
00:25:42As Albert Einstein said, the world is a dangerous place to live in.
00:25:46Not because people do evil, but because people sit by and let them.
00:25:57I know this is why I'm watching.
00:26:00He's upset about something.
00:26:03Yeah, you can see it right there.
00:26:05Look at that all tight face.
00:26:09Oh, now that's smart.
00:26:12Is that a teacher?
00:26:14Yeah, I think she's flipped out or something.
00:26:16Look at her.
00:26:19Whoa, everything okay?
00:26:22We're going to have another student teacher affair developing there.
00:26:29See, I see through all that squish.
00:26:33He's running that squish for getting closer to it, you see.
00:26:36White middle class kids.
00:26:38In case you hadn't noticed, I'm leaving.
00:26:39Not everything is black and white, Mr. Jackson.
00:26:42Standardized tests.
00:26:43I'm speaking now, sir.
00:26:45Uh-oh.
00:26:46The testing board is comprised of a broad spectrum.
00:26:49It's funny how 53% of white kids answered that same question correctly when only 22% of black kids
00:26:54did.
00:26:54How do you know this?
00:26:55I know it, because I read about it.
00:26:57Well, run it then.
00:26:59Education ceases to be learning with the three R's are read, remember, and regurgitate.
00:27:04Uh-oh.
00:27:06That was a good one, wasn't it?
00:27:37No, it was a good one, but there's no way.
00:27:37It's funny how many people use the r's of the community and live.
00:27:37They're Vanessa!
00:27:37.
00:27:41.
00:27:43.
00:27:44.
