I don’t know where to find the racial demographics for legislative districts. I can only answer the racial breakdown in the Dem caucus:
Out of the 20 Dem State Senators, 12 are Black and 8 are White.
Out of the 57 Dem State Representatives, 37 are Black and 20 are White.

Looking at the MS state senate members and the counties represented, and using common sense to estimate which parts of each county they represent, I am certain that every black Democrats in the MS state senate represents a black-majority district (and with blacks being super-majorities of Democrat primary voters). As for white Democrat state senators, I suspect that the one white Dem in Jackson represents a black-majority district (many white parts of Hinds County are in a GOP district that is partially in Madison County), and a white Dem in Panola County must represent a district whose black percentage is in the high 40s; and in addition to those two, there are probably one or two others representing districts in which blacks are the majority of Democrat primary voters.
I haven't looked at the MS state house, but I suspect that I would find the same phenomenon were I to do so (which I won't).
