Has anybody else come to this conclusion yet?
As an Anglo-American, I have always conceived of AA gentlemen as the noble savage. I love how they resist attempts by liberals to rope them into the system and how they would prefer to stay rolling in the mud than to get a desk job and a stable family life, and I love how that exposes holes in liberal ideology and makes them cope and seethe so hard. And that sounds harsh, but I am saying that as a good thing. I am a Rousseauian, and I see humanity's innate goodness shine forth in all of their antics. Because they aren't really resisting attempts to abandon their savage and barbaric ways, but rather protecting their innate goodness from the corrupting influence of civilisation:
And when you think about it this way, all the things white people have "achieved" seems trivial at best, and at worse they become the shackles which inhibit us from self actualizing, acquiring power, and experiencing the full range of human emotions - essentially become happy. Newtonian physics, Darwinian biology, Baroque art, Christian theology, all these civilized inventions have succeeded in corrupting our morals and making us weak. And look what's happening: Western nations aren't having kids and run a pipeline of importing thirdies to keep the numbers up. They are literally self destructing. And besides that too their influence is waning which is allowing China and Africa to fill the power gap. Rousseau in "A Discourse on the Moral Effects of the Arts and Sciences" first observed this phenomenon that savage peoples often have stronger moral virtues compared to civilized countries, whose advancements in the arts and sciences make them decadent, which allows for the less civilized people to conquer the more civilized:

It is not through stupidity that the people have preferred other activities to those of the mind. They were not ignorant that in other countries there were men who spent their time in disputing idly about the sovereign good, and about vice and virtue. They knew that these useless thinkers were lavish in their own praises, and stigmatised other nations contemptuously as barbarians. But they noted the morals of these people, and so learnt what to think of their learning.

Contrast with these instances the morals of those few nations which, being preserved from the contagion of useless knowledge, have by their virtues become happy in themselves and afforded an example to the rest of the world. Such were the first inhabitants of Persia, a nation so singular that virtue was taught among them in the same manner as the sciences are with us. They very easily subdued Asia, and possess the exclusive glory of having had the history of their political institutions regarded as a philosophical romance. Such were the Scythians, of whom such wonderful eulogies have come down to us. Such were the Germans, whose simplicity, innocence and virtue, afforded a most delightful contrast to the pen of an historian, weary of describing the baseness and villainies of an enlightened, opulent and voluptuous nation. Such had been even Rome in the days of its poverty and ignorance. And such has shown itself to be, even in our own times, that rustic nation, whose justly renowned courage not even adversity could conquer, and whose fidelity no example could corrupt.
