Closed primaries sounds good but it will be spun as excluding minorities.

That’s fine if they want to spin it whichever way they want. Do you think they will care when the minorities become the majority years from now and we will be complaining we are excluded? We will truly be the minorities then and will be cast aside as trash.

Exactly. If Mississippi tried to chang the law, the federal courts would re-instate open primaries, especially because there’s a well-known history of the Democratic primaries’ having been closed to blacks when the Democrats controlled everything in the Magnolia State.
