What does this paragraph means?

…and see the tears welling up in her little eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children, and see the depressing clouds of inferiority begin to form in her little mental sky…

It means that you could truly tell how upset the character was, and the true meaning wept over everyone, of how cruel the world is

She is denied access to funtown and just as she is made inferior by the one who doesn't let her pass due to her colour, she begins to learn about society's inequality and that people will try to degrade her. The rays of sun her original idea that she could do anything regardless of colour are blocked out by the 'clouds of inferiority'.
