Students at the same graduation where a black woman snatched a microphone out of a white volunteer's hand in a viral video and made allegations of racism have disputed those claims.
Kadia Iman was seen in a TikTok video wrestling a microphone out of a white staff member's hand while fellow graduates stood in line to receive their diplomas at La Guardia Community College in Queens, New York.
'I want the mic,' Iman can be heard yelling at the volunteer helper as she aggressively tugged the mic from her. 'Let go. You didn't let me get my moment.'
Following the ceremony, Iman posted a short video explaining her actions: 'She was pulling the mic down super fast for some black people.' she stated to justify her outburst.
But now her fellow graduates have spoken out and said Iman completely overreacted.
'That video is a little hard to watch,' one woman stated. 'I too graduated from [LaGuardia] yesterday. I was there. Everyone had the opportunity to say their first and last name. No one said anything more, no one said anything less,' TikTok user @glamstonerboutique said in a video.
'The young lady, I understand it was her moment but she went about it the wrong way. No one was discriminated against or racially profiled her. She handled it very poorly. I'm sorry she felt like she had a bad experience. This was the only issue all day. The ceremony was great,' she continued.
A second black woman who also received her diploma at the same ceremony also took to TikTok showing little sympathy for Iman's cause.

She completely made a total fool of herself. There is no way anyone will ever hire her. If I did that I’d have to go live in a cave for the rest of my life.
The real stupidity is passing back and forth a microphone with scores of people involved. Just not ideal.
Her race-colored glasses may have just cost her some opportunities at employment. Not only does no one want an aggressive egotistical drama queen, they’d be risking a battery of racial-based accusations whenever her workmanship wasn’t acceptable.
All true. She also seems crazy.
“The real stupidity is passing back and forth a microphone with scores of people involved. Just not ideal.”
Yea they should have done it the old fashion way. The MC calls out your name, you walk across the stage, get your diploma and walk off the stage.
I guess they wanted to be different and thought college kids would act adult. They forgot about the BT-1000.
My goodness.
When my son graduated, they listed him as cum laude on the Jumbotron. He was Magna cum laude.
Did he pitch a fit? Of course not. Walked across the stage, waived, shook hands.
They got it right on his degree.
Iman is a Tik Tok attention whore. She thinks that she is a celebrity.
ME...ME...ME....ME....ME! Attention Ho!
There is no way anyone will ever hire her.
Except for the Biden administration.
She is Affirmative Action. She will work where she wishes. And in any Profession she desires. Affirmative Actions are protected by Law and cannot be fired, disciplined, or corrected. She will be “hired”[put on the pay roll] of any place of employment she desires. Doing not a thing. She will be “hired” for who she is and not what she knows not her skills. Which are none.
Notice that the college is a community college—she has a two-year degree. Will that get her a high paying job or will she need to get a bachelor’s degree?
