Because a ot of conservatives were happy with the change, too.

Must be a tough pill for liberals to swallow.

they weren't happy about it, they fought it, but they didn't STOP it :)

I think you misread conservative. Most of them did NOT fight it.

Stars and bars minority ≠ conservative.

Conservative ≠ stars and bars minority.

When comparing it to today’s Democrats sure. But back then they were still considered the liberal party, as they believed in a strong central government and the first strict gun laws in southern states were passed by former confederates in 1866.

it was intended to keep guns out of black possession.

All gun laws are aimed to target removing ownership from a specific type of person within your country. They are gun laws nonetheless. They were started by Democrats in the 1800s and they’re continued by Democrats today. Republicans have been consistently pro gun because their pro gun motives are based on protection from tyranny, not racial supremacy.

Doesn’t it bother you though that lots of policies created by old Democrats aimed at lowering minorities are still pushed by today’s Democrats?

And their founder Storm Thurmond later changed his ways. He hired black men into high positions on his staff but only after changing to the Republican party.

racism IS the tradition of conservatism.

Right. Conseravtives were racists in the past as they are now. Party name is inconsequential as a distinction.
