Sympathy implies that you share emotions with someone: when they're treated badly, you feel bad as well as if you had been treated badly. Tolerance means that you accept something - in this context, you accept them equally as another.
So, in a racial tolerance context, a white person could tolerate black people sharing a lunch counter, but may not have any sympathy if they were denied service.

If you have sympathy, that is sympathize, you feel sorry for someone. It's a feeling.
If you have tolerance, that is you tolerate, then you accept (or at least put up with) someone. Feelings may or may not be involved.
