Nope:

"Country music is a genre of American popular music that originated in Southern United States, in Bristol, Tennessee in the 1920s.[1] It takes its roots from the southeastern genre of American folk music and Western music"

"Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms and harmonies accompanied by mostly string instruments such as banjos, electric and acoustic guitars, and fiddles as well as harmonicas"
^

Country is basically cac's folk music they used to sing during the Western era. They have sometimes incorporated blues into country music but general its origins are in their European folk song ballad and dance.

Wrong again. Here is an article for your reading pleasure:

Country is from Bluegrass music. At the heart of Bluegrass music is a the banjo. The Banjo is from Africa; the slaves made them.

The Appalachian people picked up on Country after hearing Blacks in the minstrel shows.

Cacs don't know where they got the banjo but just because the instrument's origin may be African doesn't men Africans created country music. Bluegrass is a subgenre of country and even it came from European folk song:

Bluegrass music is a form of American roots music, and a subgenre of country music. Bluegrass was inspired by the music of Appalachia.[1] It has mixed roots in Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and English[2] traditional music, and also later influenced by the music of African-Americans[3]through incorporation of jazz elements. Settlers from the United Kingdom and Ireland arrived inAppalachia during the 18th century, and brought with them the musical traditions of their homelands. These traditions consisted primarily of English and Scottish ballads—which were essentially unaccompanied narrative—and dance music, such as Irish reels, which were accompanied by a fiddle.[4]

There probably is some blues' influence later but country itself is not African American music. It's cac music.

I think country music phrasing and accent is definitely white based. I definitely hear the Ireland/Scottish/Appalachia hard r's in the music. Now the music, I have no Idea.

Bluegrass was invented in the USA, which is where Europeans first saw the banjo that the Africans built. Some of Bluegrass music came right up out of the Blues. That European folk music was added to the music that the Africans played on the banjo and on their fiddles. Do more research and stop writing crazy shyt.

OK, you think blacks literally invented every kind of music on Earth, even European folk and dance as well as their derivatives. Let's agree to disagree and just say that country music as it stands today is indeed not black music.

Black people did not invent every form of music on Earth; just the mainstream music forms in the USA. And the kicker is that Classical music is from Egypt.

R Kelly has revealed that he has been writing "a lot of country songs".

"I've really been writing a lot of country songs," he said. "I used to get criticised for doing a 'Bump & Grind' then turning around and doing a gospel song. But the truth is I'm glad I have a gift that allows me to switch lanes."

meanwhile country artists are doing better R&B than what passes for 90% of R&b now.

One of the biggest R&B singers of all time, Joe Simon, also sang country music. After all he was from the Country.
