TikToker snatches mic in graduation scuffle after claiming she didn\u2019t get her \u201cmoment\u201d TikTok: kadiaimantvA TikToker has shared an altercation with college staff that took place at her graduation ceremony, alleging that she was racially profiled. Graduating college is an exciting moment for many students, celebrating the conclusion of many hard years of studying. However, one TikToker claims she was robbed of her \u201cmoment\u201d after alleging that staff didn\u2019t let give her enough time to speak her name. Determined to say her piece, Kadiaiman posted a clip to her TikTok account, \u2018kadiaimantv\u2019, showing the moment she grabbed a microphone off of the event\u2019s presenter. In the clip, Kadiaiman can be heard saying, \u201cI don\u2019t like how you snatched the mic out of my hand, so today is going to be all about me.\u201d In a follow-up TikTok, Kadiaiman explained what led to the heated altercation. \u201c[We have time to] say our names before we get on the stage,\u201d she explained, stating that when it came to her, she was cut off. \u201cThe people who went before me, they all got to say their name, their major, and even extras.\u201d Kadiaiman believes that racial profiling may have been involved, arguing, \u201cMe and another girl noticed that [the presenter] was pulling the mic down super fast for some black people [sic].\u201d \u201cI went through so much s*** to graduate that I just felt like I had to reclaim my moment,\u201d Kadiaimen concluded. \u201cI\u2019m not a problematic person, I do not want to ruin no one\u2019s day [sic].\u201d \u201cBeing silent and submissive when acts of [injustice] are being committed against Black [graduates] only encourages racist educators. Thanks for [standing] up,\u201d one person said in support underneath the TikTok clip. But while Kadiaiman\u2019s comments were largely filled with support, others found her behavior \u201centitled\u201d and \u201cembarrassing\u201d. Another graduate who attended the same ceremony also posted a TikTok objecting to Kadiaiman\u2019s version of events. \u201cEveryone had the opportunity to say their first and last name; no one said anything more, no one said anything less,\u201d the TikToker replied on her account \u2018glamstonerboutique\u2019. \u201cI understand it was her moment, I feel she went about that the wrong way,\u201d she went on to say. \u201cNo one was discriminated against, no one was racially profiled, no one was trying to discriminate against her.\u201d Laguardia College has yet to comment on the incident.
