I honestly can't think of any...
I can think of lots of white and black artists who do music genres that were invented by black people, but black people seem to prefer listening to black artists over white artists. Even Eminem isn't that popular with black people.
Like Beyonce is more respected than Amy Winehouse amongst black people, for example, whilst with everybody else (asian, latino, caucasian) Amy Winehouse is more respected.

Amy Winehouse before she died. Well, she still is very well respected by black musicians more so than white.
Black musicians, producers, writers.. just seem to love the authenticity, respect, and knowledge of music Amy had.

What you've said about Amy Winehouse is true. I've seen countless interviews myself of black artists praising her.
But this is about every day people, not people in the music industry, and I've rarely ever heard a black person ever talk about, listen to, or praise Amy Winehouse, or any white artist for that matter. Usually at flat parties you will never hear any songs by a white person, even when if it's the same genre.
Likewise, you will hear white artists on rhythmic/urban radio stations and in hip hop/urban clubs and stuff, so on the music industry level, yes. But whenever I go to house parties when the music is chosen by black people usually they will never play any white artists. 6 hours of music and not a single white artist sometimes, I think most of the time black people prefer listening to black artists.
I don't mind since I love the music anyway, but it's pretty obvious what's going on.
