President Obama Tells Howard University Graduates ‘Beyonce Runs the World’ Because in Obama EYes only NEGROES have POWER

President Barack Obama praised Beyonce and Shonda Rhimes while delivered a commencement speech at Howard University on Saturday, the Associated Press reports.

Obama painted a picture of progress while discussing race relations in the U.S., but also noted that much more still needs to be done. He said the country is “a better place today” than when he graduated from Columbia University more than 30 years ago.

“A lot of folks didn’t even think blacks had the tools to be a quarterback,” Obama told the historically black school in Washington, D.C. “When I was a graduate, the main black hero on TV was Mr. T. Rap and hip-hop were counter-culture. Now Shonda Rhimes owns Thursday night and Beyonce runs the world.”

Rhimes is the showrunner of “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal” and “How to Get Away With Murder,” which comprise ABC’s hit Thursday night lineup.
