Mietla - you're wrong about not being blessed. North America and Europe have grown so advanced because of the abundance of natural resources around them. Without these, a foundation for progress wouldn't exist. The poor countries in Africa have few natural resources at their disposal (dry arid, desert environments that can only support nomadic societies, rather than a settled, stable population). They are more dependent on the unpredictability of nature.
They are also victims of exploitation, which stunted their growth further.
A lot of people who have money have been born into an environment in which they had support to succeed. There are always exceptions, however, but it is true that someone born in, say, Germany will be more wealthy than someone born in Sudan. This an indisputable fact.
