Not for a while.

Mississippi will become Democratic in a few decades when it becomes black majority.

Except the black proportion of the population isn't rising. Oops.

maybe, but the Dems have token blacks in token positions of power.  There is a difference.
IIRC there's quite a number of ranking minority members in the House who are Black. Should they ever regain the House (yeah, yeah...as if...) that's some real power there.

Not really. The DNC first of all didn't put them there, and even if you give the Democrats credit, their actual party organization has virtually no black influence whatsoever. There's Donna Brazile but a lot of the establishment doesn't even like her, no matter what results she produces.

I oppose Affirmative Action in practice and politics, so I'm not going to tell Republicans to pick blacks or run black candidates just for the sake of doing so.
