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.
00:01:49So here's where the elephants have been stepping.
00:02:00So these are how the elephants take and grab out with their tusk and pull out the pipe and break
00:02:06them, huh?
00:02:08Oh, that's kind of scary.
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.
00:02:40She'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.
00:02:51I do not have the ability to deal with details.
00:02:54I can't.
00:02:56Charlotte coordinates everything.
00:02:58Hey.
00:02:59Hey.
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.
00:03:10I'm trying to run.
00:03:11I know this is a running day.
00:03:13They got me going.
00:03:14Uh-huh.
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, uh, Charlotte is, uh, 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.
00:03:44.
00:03:45Yeah.
00:03:46Two names, the salsa.
00:03:48Hidasa.
00:03:51Hidasa.
00:03:52Hurry up.
00:03:53Come on, Hiko.
00:03:54Hidanao me me kwayi.
00:03:58Morning.
00:03:59Good morning.
00:03:59How are you all doing?
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 myself charlotte o'neill
00:04:22my husband pete o'neill founded the united african american community center in 91
00:04:28but we have been doing community work for years and years in kansas city as members of the black
00:04:35panther party where we fed more than 750 children every day and had free medical clinics people
00:04:43think of the black panther party mostly due to the media they think of young men with guns and
00:04:49berets and leather jackets and that's true but 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 he is if you look at what we're doing right now you
00:05:10would find it
00:05:10difficult to distinguish the community work we were doing back in the day and the community work we're
00:05:16doing now do you know we're dealing with 90 students a day how are you i'm fine if we have
00:05:23someone who
00:05:24has ability to teach english we teach english you have been involving yourself if we find volunteers
00:05:30who 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
00:05:50all cultures 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 the
00:06:16people who were running the party there and we established the kansas city chapter of the black
00:06:22panther party the 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
00:06:37of our black community of our black community of our black community right on our breakfast
00:06:43school children program our counseling programs our clothing programs all evolved from that original
00:06:52foundation before the black panther party i did many things that by anyone's standards would be considered
00:07:01wrong the black panther party turned my life dramatically around i bet a lot of the can you imagine
00:07:11how a lot of the elders in the village would would view that who is this i said oh that's
00:07:16mama charlie
00:07:16they say who yeah what's she doing with a gun yeah is she going hunting or what
00:07:24do you remember when we first came to dorsaline to tanzania and i remember when we walked out of that
00:07:30airport and how warm it was and it was those those coconut trees you know i said pete i love
00:07:38this this
00:07:39is like coming home and it really was you had this puzzled expression on your face i don't know what
00:07:46that
00:07:47do you know when i got off the plane here and this is the truth charlie now all kidding aside
00:07:52now
00:07:53i didn't have a good feeling i just didn't sister and we've talked about this a lot and i generally
00:07:59make light of it but it was able to me it was just like i had gotten too far away
00:08:04from everything
00:08:05that i knew and it amazes me how you didn't feel that way huh i guess you were just as
00:08:10happy as a
00:08:11dead pig in the sunshine huh for me i was saying oh boy i saw the tin roofs with the
00:08:19rusted iron
00:08:20and i said uh-oh i said we are in for some for a different kind of life
00:08:37i don't know how much how much is it uh
00:09:14that's been most of my life shopping and buying supplies we feed 20 to 30 people daily we've got
00:09:21our programs we have student groups coming through we've got all these people visiting
00:09:26we've got people on honeymoon people just passing through we are in constant motion
00:09:42i have a peaceful kind of floating in the clouds nature that's just me and it balances out
00:09:49uh the way pete is because he's more hyper and he sweats things more than i do but he's very
00:09:59different from the way i remember him back in the day i've watched him grow to be very tolerant of
00:10:07all kind of people's opinions where i think years ago if you wasn't down with the program you know
00:10:16you couldn't normally say anything to him you know what i mean
00:10:25we don't see any racial problems in birmingham oh really no i mean we just got and i live there
00:10:29and we love it we both live fairly anglo lives and in alabama we don't i don't have that much
00:10:37interaction with with inner city blacks or anything but i don't feel threatened walking down the street
00:10:41and there's no chip on my shoulder and as far as i can tell no chip on any of their
00:10:45shoulders well
00:10:45that was going to be my next question how i was going to ask you how did you think blacks
00:10:49felt there
00:10:50you're talking about where birmingham but now i'm growing and not not of course years but i wanted to
00:10:55ask you how do they feel how would you see i don't agree with their assessment i still notice that
00:10:59throughout uh the african-american community i still think there are a lot of young people who still
00:11:04sense some resentment and get choked by the anger and resentment and can't break out of that and and
00:11:11almost uh wallow at times in the anger and resentment and instead of taking that energy moving forward
00:11:18it it it it serves as a as a hindrance to their to their moving forward there may be some
00:11:24truth in
00:11:24that but can you imagine how difficult it is to forge your head i don't know when you no you
00:11:29don't
00:11:30sir and when you when you have never had an opportunity educationally when you but you
00:11:35don't know what it's like to be a white male in in the south either it ain't all bread and
00:11:38roses i
00:11:39mean it's uh whites weren't slaves for centuries but we don't live on the big rock candy mountain and
00:11:44the money doesn't grow on trees and it's not even easy for a white person either miss it's hard pete
00:11:51it's not easy it's not easy for whites no it's not i agree with you right it's not but you
00:11:56certainly
00:11:56in any kind of intellectual honesty you can't compare that no with what blacks with you you're
00:12:01too intelligent a man i definitely agree to look at people that people that were treated like cows and
00:12:07chickens were denied was against the law to know how to read for centuries now what's the solution
00:12:14this is the first thing in all of these problems that we've talked about i can give you the solution
00:12:19the first thing is to admit and that's hard that's the hardest thing that's the hardest part and
00:12:25particularly for whites not a white man never will be but i can imagine this is the most difficult
00:12:31thing whites will ever have to do is to admit categorically that we have had serious problems
00:12:37we can't sugarcoat them we can't cast blame on the victim we have to say hey we screwed up this
00:12:45was
00:12:45wrong what can we do to make it right sister sister sister if you could have heard some of the
00:12:55stuff
00:12:56that came out of their mouth part of the problem no damn it he said the problem and i'm paraphrasing
00:13:03was that young blacks have resentment in their heart well what in the hell do you expect so many people
00:13:14have lack of knowledge about the 60s and 70s and the whole and the civil rights era and all that
00:13:21you
00:13:21know yeah it's like they've been living in complete isolation and have no idea or even about the rest of
00:13:27the world yeah that's that's what blows my mind too we'll find people that will come in our presence
00:13:32now and they'll talk about social issues and racial issues and things like this but these are things they
00:13:38don't think about when they're not and they think they have to do this in our presence that's the killer
00:13:45this is the killer this is the killer they think in their mind that they are being as progressive
00:13:52and they're saying look look it's really your fault he said it's your fault are you playing you're a big
00:13:58part of the problem but he means well yeah i don't like that do you i know that's a big
00:14:04part of what we
00:14:05talk about and what we try to do but i don't like it do you you mean with those issues
00:14:10no i'm talking
00:14:11about the whole cross-cultural thing when it when it when it brings that uncomfortable feeling you know i'd
00:14:18really i'm not going to do this but i'd really just say hey take that out of here you know
00:14:24has
00:14:24there been any cooling off between you and the police in kansas city none whatsoever there can
00:14:29never be any cooling off between the black panther party and the racist uh pigs regardless of what
00:14:34level of pigs we're talking about until all oppression has been ended until we've seen them all sent to
00:14:39their graves when i look at that footage uh i'm a little impressed with myself that i had the
00:14:46fortitude to say this and to say it on national tv exploited i have no qualms about what we were
00:14:54struggling for in the black panther party i think they were right that's ludicrous but when i see myself
00:14:59adopting a totally unreasonable stance it almost says to me i 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 his way
00:15:12into the senate and take mccullens head while eldridge is doing that i would like very much to shoot my
00:15:17way into the house of representatives and get this racist lying icard's head the interviewer when i said
00:15:23that i wanted to take congressman icard's head who headed the investigation against me he said
00:15:31now when you say you want to take his head you don't mean that literally and i said i mean
00:15:38it
00:15:38literally i'd like to do that and perhaps i did perhaps at that time i was thinking that going into
00:15:46the
00:15:47house of representative and taking the head of icard would somehow further the revolution well if that's
00:15:55how i thought then it's not a reflection of how i feel now what i need to do is just
00:16:03really practice
00:16:03the pronunciation to me patta see i'm getting struggling already try to use okay to me patta
00:16:13motherfucker first tell me the meaning what does it mean the meaning is understanding understanding
00:16:21like between you and i yeah say we quarreled on certain matters yes and then we said okay
00:16:27be let's forget about okay differences yes so that understanding is called more
00:16:40more okay i understand why you try to avoid using that way yes i am because there's a phrase in
00:16:50in in
00:16:51english that sounds very similar and it means certainly does not mean understanding you know
00:16:59when peter came to tanzania he was young provocative very rough i remember you cannot talk to peter
00:17:12you know three words without exchanging horrible words one day in town he had this panga a big knife and
00:17:27i
00:17:27don't know what happened but he chased a man with his knife so a lot of people came out and
00:17:34everybody
00:17:35was saying wow wow what's this what is this then we saw it was peter in tanzania we don't do
00:17:44that if you
00:17:46hate somebody you there is a way of uh giving the message that when i don't like you but not
00:17:53chasing him
00:17:53in 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 i think he has some frustrations from america
00:18:38i love the tanzanian people i think they are a gentle considerate
00:18:43loving people and things are so much more mellow here so much more polite but it's hard for me
00:18:52oftentimes the elders will stop me and want to talk about some issue i'm still with that little
00:18:58bit of americanism in me want to rush and do what i have to do i am required to visit
00:19:05regularly to bring
00:19:07gifts when i do so and i must express the highest form of respect i have to struggle with it
00:19:16don't do
00:19:16it this way don't say it that way be polite this is a daily struggle for me
00:19:26yesterday i received an email about my lawyer has done so much dramatic will take place
00:19:34uh with our efforts to have my conviction thrown out and my legal situation i really believe that
00:19:45now what was that woman that was the attorney general under clinton dana reno that's it
00:19:50this case even reached her desk and uh she was in a sense sympathetic she said yes i couldn't agree
00:19:58more
00:19:59that uh that his conviction was probably politically motivated she said but it's going to have to be
00:20:05resolved in the courts or either a presidential pardon anyway we'll see what happens i'm confident
00:20:11however that eventually i will prevail somebody else give me a question okay there's a tattoo
00:20:19oh lord i knew someone would see that you're the first one yeah these were put on me when i
00:20:23was in the navy
00:20:25this faded said pete this one says mom i've never in my life called my mother mom never in my
00:20:33entire life
00:20:34now the creme de la creme ready are we are we prepared for this is this one which is a
00:20:41what could
00:20:42what could i have been thinking a turtle man i've got stuff on me that i said lord please let
00:20:49no one
00:20:50see it before i die you know and you want to know one i got in hong kong let me
00:20:54show you you want to
00:20:55see this is not going to be salacious or anything like don't get upset or worry this is a black
00:21:01panther
00:21:02that i had put on in hong kong in 1958 long before a black panther party was ever thought about
00:21:09isn't
00:21:09that just a little odd coincidence isn't that something yeah we work with a lot of organizations
00:21:16universities and study abroad programs tourists come out here and they give us donations for staying
00:21:22here with us so this is how we survive financially we operate and we function on a wing and a
00:21:28prayer
00:21:39let's see we talk about water situation sister is bad this could get disastrous you know let let me
00:21:45tell you everybody may i make make a suggestion please forgive the indelicate subject at the dinner
00:21:51table yeah but when you pee don't flush the toilet do not flush the toilet when you pee and
00:21:57uh when you take showers please be brief one of our major difficulties in living here in this village
00:22:13is our lack of water and 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
00:22:26this is a holy mess there's a trickle of water coming in from the park the water is the absolute
00:22:38last of our reserves we have nothing else
00:22:48i had a real bad stomachache i started getting fever and now i'm coughing a lot i think it's bronchitis
00:22:55i've had it before and now i'm throwing up i can't eat anything
00:23:01i've been on a temperature between 100 and 101 for three days yes it's not real bad but i do
00:23:10have
00:23:10headache at first i thought maybe it was malaria then
00:23:26so you would need some antibiotics also and get malaria
00:23:44so it's a terrible wind so you got bronchitis you got malaria
00:23:48how did you know that was afraid of typhoid
00:23:56but your head was hurting
00:24:10you got to worry about things like malaria parasites there's other parasites that you
00:24:16got to always be aware of there's all kind of problems that would be different in the states of
00:24:21non-existent in states but then when i look around and see all these trees and all this beauty
00:24:27and the birds singing and the birds singing and know i can go around the compound and go into the
00:24:32classroom and see all those students you know working and thriving any kind of inconvenience that we
00:24:40experience is nothing compared to that because i know we wouldn't be able to live a life like this
00:24:46in the states no way charlotte is probably one of the most positive human beings that i've ever met in
00:24:53my life and she can deal with anything but we get malaria far too much we actually are getting malaria
00:25:01three and four times a year
00:25:08it's the most horrendous disease i think malaria kills more people in suburbs saharan africa than anything
00:25:16else including aids the parasites had in the liver and at times of stress they come out okay you can
00:25:24completely rid them out of your body aching and chills and sweating and fever it'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 as 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
00:25:52see what they have done
00:25:54congratulations you qualified for the state i know this is why i'm watching
00:26:00he he's upset about something yeah you can see it right there look at all tight face
00:26:09oh now that's that's smart
00:26:12is that a teacher yeah i think she flipped out or something look at her
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, in case you hadn't noticed, I'm leaving.
00:26:39Not everything is black and white, Mr. Jackson.
00:26:42Standardized tests. I'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.
00:27:06Oh, that was a good one, wasn't it?
00:27:24Well, I shouldn't believe that.
00:27:25I've sat on this, Luke Patel State Cloud and there were three Ree息 Musions conductor midiattons.
00:27:25Oh, look, and then I appointed it.
00:27:29I decided that there were two R's are 3.
00:27:30Yeah, they're 3터� Than Velocs.
