Two high school students in Michigan gave very different accounts of what led to a fight that went viral on social media and drew the attention of their local community.
Kamaria Rogers-Brown, a student at Lee High School in Wyoming, Michigan, recently told WZZM13 that the altercation with her classmate Gabriela earlier this month happened after other students showed her texts the girl wrote calling Kamaria the n-word and expressing wishes to fight her.
According to Kamaria, Gabriela was “going around saying the n*****, just calling me a n***** at that , so I confronted her about it in class.”
Shortly after the confrontation, Kamaria said Gabriela approached her in the bathroom to apologize for using the slurs. Later on, Kamaria claims she was approached by other students who showed her more texts that included more uses of the slur, pictures of Kamaria, and desires to fight Kamaria after school, all allegedly written by Gabriela.
Kamaria says she later approached Gabriela during lunch asking why she bothered apologizing if she was still using the slur and threatening to fight her.
