no, conservatives, and when the left found a home in the Democratic party during the Civil Rights movement the GOP was waiting with open arms to welcome them to the ranks. Conservatives, by definition, want to keep, or "conserve" the status quo and at the time that was segregation and bans on interracial marriages. They think things should stay the way they are because of tradition, or "that's the way it's always been." Meanwhile it was liberals who advocated then and now change from the status quo when it resulted in injustice and inequality, who supported integration and who supported the right for individuals to marry outside of their race, despite 70% of the population being against such marriages (and using the Bible as their rationale for doing so).
