Pretty much what Maki and Darkcloud said.

If you take a closer look at what Blake said, when she was telling Sun about the White Fang, in Black and White, then you can find some answers there. "Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as the voice of our people." It isn't just that they want equality, it's also that they were promised it, only for that promise to have been a lie.

Apparently, the discrimination was so bad that they were even refused service at shops, as Blake says "We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us"

Things don't exactly look quite as bad now, but maybe that's because people fear the White Fang. "And the worst part was, it was working. We were being treated like equals. But not out of respect... out of fear." Though, we have seen that there are still people who hate faunus and discriminate against them. If anything, the White Fang's actions evoked hate in more people, like Weiss.
