A black person, generally refering to a young man, who lives in a rural area ("the country") as opposed to living in an urban area ("the city"). Generally used to refer to blacks in the rural "Black Belt" of the U.S. South. The lifestyle is more like that of how blacks lived before moving towards urban centers and the North. Most "country niggas" have lived in rural communities for several generations, most likely as long as or longer than most white people in the South. The term is used by other black people, generally urban or city black folk, in a non-offensive way, more in a jocular way or simply as a way of identifying the lifestyle (contrasted to an urban one) of other blacks. It's usage is much more common among poor or lower-income black people.
