Dawah and Ajabu are basically the same idealists fighting for the same
rights for their people. The phrase, The enemy of my enemy is my
friend comes into play as Heimbach seeks alliances with like-minded
individuals. Although they seem to be fighting for different things, the
concepts that they believe in are similar. The conflict perspective is
evidently shown here with the potential of laying up an alliance
between these hate groups.
Ajabu was seen saying that he was agitated by the justice
system when his son was convicted of murder, a crime he insisted that
his son did not commit and he attributes it to his race. The evidence of
conflict can be reflected when Ajabu said, that goes on every day. Go
into a courtroom. If theyre white, it seems like there is respect, but if
the defendant is black, its sit down, shut up, you aint got nothing to
say. Its a whole different world. There is evidence of white privilege in
this aspect due to the given power and influence in society. With the
inequality in terms of treatment and respect, there is therefore tension
between the races.
There is also evidence of an implied chaotic social order. When
asked if Heimbach knew his intended path would eventually lead to
violence, he answered, some things are worth fighting for. He is
willing to involve violence in his campaign as a white nationalist.
Comte divided sociology into social statics and social dynamics.
Social statics focuses on how order is maintained, holding a society
together. Language, religion and division of labor are the three main
factors that hold a society together. Interpreting the video with
Comtes theory, Heimbach is trying to create a society in which he
thinks is perfect with an all white community, his reason being that his
ancestors were the ones who fought for the land and therefore deserve
the country. Heimbach believes that his racism beliefs would lead
America towards the good society, achieving social order with positive
social change.
