Capitol Journal: Don't Be Too Smug, California: The State Has Its Own Shameful History of Racism And Bigotry
Reporting from In Sacramento -
President Trump thinks California "is out of control?" That's what he told Fox News.
When it comes to racism and bigotry, California admittedly can't be too smug.
There's also our shameful history, although we've mostly owned up to past sins and steadily become more tolerant.
California rejected slavery from the start, but committed genocide against Native Americans. In the 1850s, the state government paid bounties for their body parts - 25 cents per scalp, up to $5 for a whole head.
In his 1851 State of the State message to the Legislature, Gov. John McDougall declared a "war of extermination" against California Indians. In 1769, there were 300,000 here. By 1900, their numbers had fallen to only 17,000.
For many decades, California discriminated horribly against Asians. Japanese immigrants were barred from owning property. The Chinese couldn't legally migrate here at all.
In more modern times, Californians voted overwhelmingly half a century ago to continue racial discrimination in the sale and rental of housing.
In 1994, Californians voted in a near landslide to deny public services, including education, to immigrants here illegally. That meant kids would be kicked out of school. Proponents insisted that was aimed at illegal immigration, not Latinos. Whatever, courts ruled it unconstitutional.
