Why Is Equality Not Equal

Though the sun shines on us all equally
Why are we not all equal.
Though the moon looks down lighting our way.
Our paths are all not level. 
Though a black mans smile is the same.
His struggles and his pain are real.
If you believe equality means equal then why are his tears needed?
