Well, that kind of thing worked enough to get her elected so let's see how it plays out from here. Personally, I find it a little hard to believe that an entire state is racist, period but I haven't been to Tennessee so maybe she's right. Then again, that being the case, it's a little strange that she got elected by all those racists.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A newly-elected state lawmaker from Memphis is facing criticism for controversial comments made in a now-deleted Facebook video.
Democrat London Lamar, who ran uncontested in House District 91, posted the video following last week's election.
"Tennessee's racist. Period. Period. Like, Tennessee is racist," Lamar said in the video.
She also said: "Most of the Tennesseeans who voted Republican are uneducated."
