Where does she get the weird idea CA is tolerant?

San Francisco is quietly eliminating its black population:

…………
San Francisco locks up a higher percentage of members of the African American community in drug cases than any other county in the study. In the county, 123 people out of every 100,000 are sent to state prison each year for drug offenses. Of those, whites are incarcerated at a rate of 35 per 100,000 white people, while blacks are incarcerated at a rate of 1,013 per 100,000 black people.
"It is not that San Francisco is sending a lot of people to prison for drug offenses, it is that the people they are sending are black," said Jason Ziedenberg, executive director of the institute. "An average citizen who uses drugs in San Francisco has a pretty low chance of going to prison, but if you are African American, the chances are fairly high."
Over the past 35 years, the rate at which the United States imprisons citizens has risen dramatically, and the increase has been driven in large part by drug offenses, according to the report. Between 1996 and 2002, the number of people in jail for drug offenses increased by about 47 percent.
San Francisco has a small population of African Americans - 6.7 percent of the total, according to the Census Bureau's 2006 American Community Survey - but Ziedenberg said the numbers have a concentrated impact within that community. African Americans are going to prison for drug offenses at a rate that is 28 times higher than the rate for whites.

Census estimates show the population dropped from 96,000 in 1970 - or 13 percent of San Francisco residents - to 51,000 - or just 7 percent - in 2006.
…….
Since 1990, census estimates suggest the region has lost at least 40,000 African Americans, or 8 percent of its black population, even while the region's overall population increased by 15 percent. Flight has been greatest in the most urban counties, with San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Alameda collectively losing more than 20 percent of their black residents. Many have moved to the Bay Area's outer suburbs - particularly Solano and eastern Contra Costa counties - while others have left the region altogether. In a 2004 study, demographer William Frey of the Brookings Institution found that many black Californians were making a "reverse migration" and heading back to the South.

When a business sets standards or policies with adverse effects that fall disproportionately on minorities, courts call that a "disparate impact" and equate it with discrimination.

But the same liberals who applaud that approach when it comes to businesses would be appalled if the same standard were applied to their own environmentalist restrictions that force vast numbers of blacks out of their own upscale liberal communities.

That’s just black people. They are quietly pushed out.

Christians and the military are singled out for more overt hostile treatment.

Something like 23,000 Christian youth gathered in San Francisco for a rally. The youth were met with some disapproval and protests, but nothing as overt and violent as they faced last year. Last year the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution condemning the event, so this year they tried to show a little more tolerance. The city commissioners banned microphones and amplifiers during the hours of their rally, citing sound ordinances.
