John Inazu : Slogans like `` We are all Columbine '' are n't true , nor is `` We are Ferguson '' Inazu : Not all of us live in those circumstances , but we all made Ferguson come into being . He says we reinforce racial and class divisions that affect neighborhoods , schools . And he points out the fact that there's a lot more to it than just guns or gangs. In the best cases , these divisions create the possibility for good local government and communities where friendship and civic involvement can flourish . We allow a system that disproportionately harms black men and neglects inequality .
