Rep. Hank Johnson: If Democrats Don’t Win Midterms, ‘We’re Going to Be Back in the Cotton Fields’

Hannah Knudsen 2 Jul 2026

If Democrats do not win the midterm elections, black Americans will be “back in the cotton fields,” Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) recently claimed.

Johnson made the bizarre claim during an appearance on the #RolandMartinUnfiltered daily broadcast.

“It’s a GOP war on black America, and if we don’t stand up and fight back, we’re going to be back in the cotton fields,” Johnson asserted, clarifying what he meant by “fighting back.”

He said it is not a call to arms but a call to protest, although he did not specify if he is imagining wild and violent riots reminiscent of the Black Lives Matter and Antifa protests in 2020, which many Democrats failed to properly condemn.

“And when I talk about fighting back, I’m not talking about taking up arms. I’m talking about taking it to the streets in protest, and also by exercising our precious right to vote,” he said.

Johnson added, “We’re going to have to get out in November and vote, like John Lewis said, like our lives depend on it, because our lives do depend on it this time.”

No way, Jose!
There are machines to do that work now.
They don't argue, gripe, or urinate on your tires.
They don't demand higher pay, more benefits, or Juneteenth off.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Manual labor, heaven forbid.  I thought Buddhists held farming in high regard … a form of movement meditation. 

In any event, he may rest assured, we aren’t gonna to repeat that mistake.  And what would Hank know about cotton anyway?  He grew up in DC, and his daddy was a useless bureaucrat.

Maryland and Virginia primarily grew tobacco as a cash crop during the colonial era, cotton wasn't common at all. Around Baltimore and the Capital, farming changed gears, growing produce to supply the cities, and as fewer slaves were needed for produce farming manumission increased. Slavery was on its way out when the war started.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Jim Jones was a socialist Democrat.
