Most conservatives and Republicans put very little value in people, especially Afro-Americans or Hispanics. Their concern is money and property. To them, it's acceptable to discard people, even children. The conservatives see little value in minority children, especially boys. In Pennsylvania the conservative philosophy has resulted in 332 children being discarded into prison for their entire lives. Most of the children are blacks and Hispanics. Almost all of them are boys. Do these children really have no value except to fill cells and give jobs to prison guards? Do we give up and say "bad seed!" Or are we smart enough to do something for and with these children. Was the conservative Secretary of Education right? Should all black babies be aborted? kind of a black "final solution?" Civilized government must address the American culture of violence and greed. Violence isn't glamorous or necessary. The conservative fixation on money and possessions isn't sane. Start with a better example from the government.
