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 must 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 to request a license
00:00:32for 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 of transporting a gun
00:01:04across 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.
00:01:49This is where the elephants have been stepping.
00:01:53This is where the elephants have been stepping.
00:02:16I'm hoping and praying that this will perhaps alleviate some of our water
00:02:20problems doesn't look very promising right now but fingers crossed
00:02:36when I bought Charlotte out here she was 19 years old she'd never been away from home
00:02:41and I was 30 days I cannot imagine that I would have been able to succeed without her I do
00:02:51not
00:02:51have the ability to deal with details I can Charlotte coordinates everything hey sorry to be so rush
00:03:02rush but I got another meeting this afternoon I need to know how we can do today because you
00:03:07know I got to go I can be a little impatient at times and have developed into
00:03:21a grumpy old man are you leaving now and Charlotte is uh angelic by nature
00:03:32I'm setting a new record for cholesterol I'm gonna be the first person to have cholesterol level of
00:03:37five hundred and eighty-nine and survived come on you go she don't know mimic why
00:04:01our differing personalities have combined to create a whole that has been extraordinarily productive
00:04:14we'd like to welcome you all to the United African American Community Center myself Charlotte O'Neill my
00:04:23husband Pete O'Neill founded the United African American Community Center in 91 91 but we have been
00:04:30doing community work for years and years in Kansas City as members of the Black Panther Party where we
00:04:37fed more than 750 children every day and had free medical clinics people think of the Black Panther Party
00:04:44mostly mostly due to the media they think of young men with guns and braids and leather jackets and
00:04:50that's true but we were much more than that the really good things about the Black Panther Party was the
00:05:00manner in
00:05:00which it served the community how old is he how old is he if you look at what we're doing
00:05:09right now you
00:05:10would find it difficult to distinguish the community work we were doing back in the day and the community
00:05:15work we're doing now do you know we're dealing with 90 students a day that how are you asher I'm
00:05:23fine
00:05:23all right if we have someone who has ability to teach English we teach English you have been involving yourself
00:05:29if we
00:05:30find volunteers who have computer skills they teach computers to our young people human HIV is a human virus what
00:05:44we're trying to do here is create a microcosm of what we feel the world should be people of all
00:05:50races all
00:05:50cultures all traditions come together and live and work for common goals
00:06:08in 1968 I started to read about the Black Panther Party I went to Oakland California I talked with
00:06:16the people who were running the party there and we established the Kansas City chapter of the Black
00:06:22Panther Party Black Panther Party is officially in Kansas City the Black Panther Party came into
00:06:30existence to try to control these mad dog policemen who were brutalizing people in the black community
00:06:41right on our breakfast school children program our counseling programs our clothing programs all evolved
00:06:51from that original foundation before the Black Panther Party I did many things that by anyone's standards
00:07:00would be considered wrong the Black Panther Party turned my life dramatically around I bet a lot of the can
00:07:10you
00:07:10imagine how a lot of the elders in the village would would view that who is this I said well
00:07:15that's mama
00:07:16Charlotte they say who yeah what's she doing with a gun is she going hunting or what do you remember
00:07:25when we first
00:07:25came to Dorsalong to Tanzania and I remember when we walked out of that airport and how warm it was
00:07:32and it was those those coconut trees you know I said Pete I love this this is like coming home
00:07:40and it really was you had this puzzled expression on your face I don't know
00:07:46what's that do you know when I got off the plane here and this is the truth surely now all
00:07:51kidding aside now I 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 but it
00:08:00was able to me it was just like I had gotten too far away from everything that I knew and
00:08:06it amazes me how you didn't feel that
00:08:08with me huh I guess you were just as happy as a dead pig in the sunshine huh me I
00:08:13was saying oh boy I saw the tin roofs with the rusted iron and I said oh I said we
00:08:23are in for some for a different kind of life
00:08:39how much how much is it we let it go again I am mama to mom to put to the
00:08:45guy wait in joe like you need to go to
00:09:13I spend most of my life shopping and buying supplies
00:09:17we feed 20 to 30 people daily we've got our programs we have student groups coming through
00:09:24we've got all these people visiting we've got people on honeymoon people just passing through
00:09:31we are in constant motion
00:09:42I have a peaceful kind of floating in the clouds
00:09:46nature that's just me and it balances out the way Pete is because he's more
00:09:52hyper and he sweats things more than I do
00:09:57but he's very different from the way I remember him back in the day
00:10:02I've watched him grow to be very tolerant of all kind of people's opinions
00:10:09where I think years ago if you wasn't down with the program you know you couldn't normally say anything to
00:10:18him you know what I mean
00:10:25we don't see any racial problems in
00:10:49blacks felt there you're talking about where Birmingham but now I'm growing and not not
00:10:53no question but I wanted to ask you how do they feel
00:10:56how would you I don't agree with the assessment I still notice that throughout
00:11:00the african-american community I still think that a lot of young people who still sense some resentment and get
00:11:06choked by the anger and resentment and can't break out of that and and almost wallow at times in the
00:11:13anger and resentment and instead of taking that energy moving forward
00:11:17it serves as a hindrance to their to their moving forward
00:11:23there may be some truth in that but can you imagine how difficult it is to forge your head
00:11:28I don't know when you know you don't sir and when you when you have never had an opportunity educationally
00:11:33when you but you don't know what it's like to be a white male in in the south either
00:11:37it ain't all bread and roses I mean it's uh
00:11:39whites 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 and it's not
00:11:46even easy for a white person either
00:11:49mist is hard people it's not easy it's not easy for whites no it's not I agree with you right
00:11:54it's not but you certainly in any kind of intellectual honesty you can't compare that no with what blacks when
00:12:01you were too intelligent a man
00:12:02I definitely agree to look at people that people that were treated like cows and chickens
00:12:07I don't know it was against the law to know how to read for centuries now what's the solution
00:12:13this is the 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
00:12:22that's the hardest thing that's the hardest part
00:12:25and particularly for whites
00:12:26not 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
00:12:34that we have had serious problems
00:12:37we can't sugarcoat them
00:12:40we can't cast blame on the victim
00:12:42we have to say hey we screwed up
00:12:44this was wrong
00:12:46what can we do to make it right
00:12:51sister sister sister
00:12:53if you could have heard some of the stuff
00:12:55that came out of their mouth
00:12:57Lord
00:12:58part of the problem
00:12:59no damn it
00:13:00he said the problem
00:13:01and I'm paraphrasing
00:13:03was that
00:13:06young blacks have resentment
00:13:08in their heart
00:13:09well what in the hell do you expect
00:13:13so many people have a lack of knowledge about the 60s and 70s and the whole and the civil rights
00:13:19era and all of that you know
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 what blows my mind too
00:13:30we'll find people that'll come in our presence now
00:13:33and they'll talk about social issues and racial issues and things like this
00:13:37but these are things they don't think about
00:13:39when they're not
00:13:40they think they have to do this
00:13:42in our presence
00:13:44that's the killer
00:13:45this is the killer
00:13:46this is the killer
00:13:46they think in their mind
00:13:50that they are being as progressive
00:13:52and they're saying look
00:13:54look
00:13:54it's really your fault
00:13:56he said it's your fault
00:13:57or you're playing
00:13:58you're a big part of the problem
00:13:59but he means well
00:14:01I don't like that do you
00:14:03I know that's a big part
00:14:04of what we talk about
00:14:06and what we try to do
00:14:07but I don't like it do you
00:14:08you mean you're dealing with those issues
00:14:10no
00:14:11I'm talking about the whole cross-cultural thing
00:14:13when it brings that uncomfortable feeling
00:14:17you know
00:14:18I'd really
00:14:18I'm not going to do this
00:14:20but I'd really just say
00:14:21hey
00:14:21take that shit
00:14:22out of here
00:14:23you know
00:14:24has there been any cooling off
00:14:25between you and the police in Kansas City?
00:14:28none whatsoever
00:14:28there can never be any cooling off
00:14:30between the Black Panther Party
00:14:31and the racist pigs
00:14:33regardless of what level of pigs
00:14:34we're talking about
00:14:35until all oppression has been ended
00:14:37until we've seen them all
00:14:38sent to their graves
00:14:39when I look at that footage
00:14:43I'm a little impressed with myself
00:14:45that I had the fortitude
00:14:46to say this
00:14:47and to say it on national TV
00:14:49exploited them
00:14:50I have no qualms
00:14:53about what we were struggling for
00:14:54in the Black Panther Party
00:14:55I think they were right
00:14:56that's ludicrous
00:14:58but when I see myself
00:14:59adopting a totally unreasonable stance
00:15:03it almost says to me
00:15:04I could have dealt with that
00:15:06better
00:15:06and Eldridge Cleaver
00:15:08made the statement
00:15:09that he would like
00:15:10to go into the Senate
00:15:11to shoot his way
00:15:12into the Senate
00:15:12and take McCullen's head
00:15:14while Eldridge is doing that
00:15:15I would like very much
00:15:16to shoot my way
00:15:17into the House of Representatives
00:15:18and get this racist
00:15:19lying Icard's head
00:15:21the interviewer
00:15:23when I said that I wanted
00:15:24to take Congressman Icard's head
00:15:26who headed the investigation
00:15:27against me
00:15:28he said
00:15:31now when you say
00:15:32you want to take his head
00:15:33you don't mean that literally
00:15:37and I said
00:15:38I mean it literally
00:15:39I'd like to do that
00:15:40and perhaps I did
00:15:42perhaps at that time
00:15:44I was thinking
00:15:45that going into the
00:15:46House of Representatives
00:15:48and taking the head
00:15:49of Icard
00:15:50would somehow
00:15:51further the revolution
00:15:53well
00:15:54if that's how I thought
00:15:55then
00:15:56it's not a reflection
00:15:57of how I feel
00:15:58now
00:16:01what I need to do
00:16:02is just really practice
00:16:03the pronunciation
00:16:04to me pata
00:16:06see I'm getting
00:16:08struggling already
00:16:09try to use it
00:16:10okay
00:16:11to me pata
00:16:13motherfucker
00:16:17first tell me the meaning
00:16:18what does it mean
00:16:19the meaning is
00:16:20understanding
00:16:20understanding
00:16:21like between you and I
00:16:22say we quarreled
00:16:25on certain matters
00:16:26and then we said
00:16:27okay
00:16:27let's forget about
00:16:29our differences
00:16:30so that understanding
00:16:32is called
00:16:33muwafaka
00:16:34good lord in heaven
00:16:40muwafaka
00:16:41muwafaka
00:16:42okay
00:16:43I understand
00:16:44why you try to
00:16:46avoid using that
00:16:47yes I am
00:16:49because there's a phrase
00:16:50in English
00:16:51that sounds very similar
00:16:53and it means
00:16:54certainly does not mean
00:16:56understanding
00:16:56you know
00:16:59when Peter came
00:17:01to Tanzania
00:17:02he was young
00:17:03provocative
00:17:04very rough
00:17:06I remember
00:17:09you cannot
00:17:11talk to Peter
00:17:14three words
00:17:15without exchanging
00:17:17horrible
00:17:19words
00:17:21one day
00:17:22in town
00:17:23he had this
00:17:24panga
00:17:25a big knife
00:17:26and I don't know
00:17:27what happened
00:17:28but he chased
00:17:29a man
00:17:31with his knife
00:17:32so a lot of people
00:17:33came out
00:17:34and everybody
00:17:35was saying
00:17:35wow wow
00:17:36what is this
00:17:37what is this
00:17:37then
00:17:38we saw
00:17:39it was Peter
00:17:42in Tanzania
00:17:43we don't do that
00:17:45if you hate somebody
00:17:46there is a way of
00:17:48giving him the message
00:17:50that I don't like you
00:17:51but not chasing him
00:17:53in front of people
00:17:54with a panga
00:17:56with a knife
00:17:58it doesn't happen
00:18:04when Peter came here
00:18:05he had some
00:18:08problems
00:18:08in his mind
00:18:10I think he has
00:18:11some frustrations
00:18:12from America
00:18:37I love the Tanzanian people
00:18:40I love the Tanzanian people
00:18:44loving people
00:18:45and things are so much
00:18:46more mellow here
00:18:47so much more polite
00:18:48but it's hard for me
00:18:52oftentimes the elders
00:18:53will stop me
00:18:54and want to talk
00:18:55about some issue
00:18:56I'm still with that
00:18:57little bit of
00:18:58Americanism in me
00:18:59want to rush
00:19:00and do what I have to do
00:19:02I am required
00:19:04to visit regularly
00:19:06to bring gifts
00:19:07when I do so
00:19:08and I must express
00:19:10the highest form
00:19:12of respect
00:19:14I have to struggle
00:19:15with 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
00:19:21for me
00:19:27yesterday
00:19:27I received an email
00:19:29about my lawyer
00:19:31has done so much
00:19:32dramatic
00:19:33will take place
00:19:34with our efforts
00:19:35to have my conviction
00:19:37thrown out
00:19:38and my legal situation
00:19:39I really believe that
00:19:45now
00:19:46what was that woman
00:19:47that was the
00:19:48attorney general
00:19:49under Clinton
00:19:49Janet Reno
00:19:50that's it
00:19:50this case
00:19:51even reached her desk
00:19:53and she was
00:19:55in a sense
00:19:56sympathetic
00:19:57she said yes
00:19:57I couldn't agree more
00:19:59that his conviction
00:20:00was probably
00:20:01politically motivated
00:20:03she said
00:20:04but it's going to
00:20:05have to be resolved
00:20:06in the courts
00:20:06or either
00:20:08a presidential pardon
00:20:09anyway
00:20:09we'll see what happens
00:20:10I'm confident
00:20:11however
00:20:12that eventually
00:20:13I will prevail
00:20:15somebody else
00:20:15give me a question
00:20:17there's a tattoo

00:21:58please be brief
00:22:09one of our major
00:22:10difficulties
00:22:11in living here
00:22:12in this village
00:22:13is our lack of water
00:22:14and the fact
00:22:15that our water supply
00:22:17is so uncertain
00:22:21when there's no rain
00:22:23everybody's battling
00:22:24trying to get
00:22:25a little bit more water
00:22:26this can't be
00:22:29this is a holy mess
00:22:33there's a trickle
00:22:34of water coming in
00:22:35from the park
00:22:36the water is the
00:22:37absolute last
00:22:39of our reserves
00:22:40we have nothing else
00:22:48I had a real bad stomach
00:22:50I started getting fever
00:22:52and now I'm coughing
00:22:53a lot
00:22:53I 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 wearing a temperature
00:23:03between 100 and 101
00:23:05for three days
00:23:06do you have headache?
00:23:07yes
00:23:08it's not real bad
00:23:09but I do have headache
00:23:10at first I thought
00:23:11maybe it was malaria
00:23:12then
00:23:14let's see if you were
00:23:26there's scant malaria
00:23:27so you would need
00:23:28some antibiotics also
00:23:29and get malaria
00:23:44so it's a terrible win
00:23:46so you got bronchitis
00:23:47you got malaria
00:23:48that's right
00:23:51you know that was afraid
00:23:52of typhoid
00:23:54hmm
00:23:55I'm not hearing it
00:23:56but your head was hurting
00:24:10you got to worry about things like malaria parasites
00:24:14there's other parasites
00:24:16that you got to always be aware of
00:24:18there's all kinds of problems
00:24:19that would be different
00:24:20in the states
00:24:21that are non-existent in the states
00:24:22but then when I look around
00:24:24and see all these trees
00:24:26and all this beauty
00:24:27and the birds singing
00:24:29I know I can go around
00:24:30the compound
00:24:31and go into the classroom
00:24:32and see all those students
00:24:35you know
00:24:35working and thriving
00:24:38any kind of inconvenience
00:24:39that we experience
00:24:40is nothing
00:24:41compared to that
00:24:43because I know
00:24:44we wouldn't be able to live
00:24:45a life like this in the states
00:24:47no way
00:24:48Charlotte is probably
00:24:50one of the most
00:24:51positive human beings
00:24:52that I've ever met in my life
00:24:54and she can deal with
00:24:55anything
00:24:56but we get malaria
00:24:57far too much
00:24:58we actually are getting malaria
00:25:01three and four times a year

00:25:03something in any
00:25:07my job
00:25:09it's the most horrendous disease
00:25:11I think malaria
00:25:12kills more people
00:25:12in suburbs
00:25:13Saharan Africa
00:25:15than anything else
00:25:16including AIDS
00:25:18the parasites
00:25:19hide in the liver
00:25:20and at times of stress
00:25:22they come out

00:25:24rid them
