Answer:

Patrisse meant that the whites are still so racially discriminating to even accept the black people as equal citizens of America and that the presence of these African Americans is a constant reminder of their past generations which, ironically, they felt is painful for them to be reminded of.

Explanation:

The book "When They Call You A Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir" by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and Asha Bandele revolves around the story of how black people had to endure discrimination and prejudice to survive. The book particularly details the experience of Patrisse and her survival, her act of activism and becoming a voice for the suffering black people.

When Patrisee describes the residents of Sherman Oaks, she labels them as wealthy people who got theirwealth at the expense of her people, i.e, the black people. She also comments how these people do not want to be reminded of what it took to keep their wealth. By this, Patrisse meant to say that these 'wealthy people" knows they got to their current lives only with the help of the blacks/ slaves or slavery system. And that, they do not want to be reminded of the past, even if it meant accepting the fact that they exploited the blacks just for their own gain. This shows that the whites are still so racist and unaccepting, justifying their actions and still refusing to accept openly that the blacks are equal citizens of America just as they are, if not more.

What can those unfamiliar experiences/customs add our experiences, and how can they help shape us as people?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer: Our beliefs and needs are the strongest factors that govern our behaviour. Ultimately, it all comes down to beliefs because a need is also a belief- a belief that we lack something.

When we’re born, our brains aren’t fully developed. We’re ready to collect information from our environment and form beliefs based on that information. We’re ready to form those neural connections that are going to guide us for the rest of our lives.

If you’ve carefully observed a child grow then you know what I’m talking about. A child absorbs information from its environment so fast and at such a high rate that by age 6, thousands of beliefs form in its mind- beliefs that will help the kid interact with the world.

(hopefully this is what you mean)
