What is inherently conservative about Jim Crow and wanting to deny civil rights to a sizable part of your population?

Are you kidding? Every damn one of them were FDR "New Deal" Democrats who loved getting as much money from the Federal government as they could and supported every tax and spend program that came down the pike.

Not a one of them was ever a fiscal conservative and all of them supported expanding the power and scope of the federal bureaucracy in every area other than equal rights.

There is and was nothing 'Conservative' about denying citizens equal rights under the law based upon race.
