I see your logic and there is some truth to what you are saying. The patterns are there, but i would HIGHLY recommend you read the Book "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by geographer Jared Diamond. It is incredible and discusses these topics and more. Like why were Europeans able to conquer the new world and colonize Africa, and the biological reasons, such as introduced species. Its a thick read, but i believe it will offer you a solid base to draw some conclusions to your statements above. Best of luck!
And by the way these countries are now at war because they were colonies (google the berlin conference of 1834 , thats when they drew up arbitrary lines in africa and divided it up amonst eupean countries) and when the imperial powers gave them independence all infrastructure and government was removed and that has left these people in a power struggle ever since. The last colonie in africa gained independence in 1984. these are recent struggles. Apartheid just ended in S.Africa.

I believe it by sight because physically all of the "black" countries are poor..However I do have to give credit to the white people for not spending everything they have on the new Air Jordans, or that daing Escalade! They are modest people that know how to conserve while living comfortably. However, some of the smartest black people are still poor because they are not as physically attractive. If a white man and a black man had the same idea to give a company a great rise and sales, most likely the company would choose the white man.. But who is to say that the black man/woman will never rise? Look at the Hukstebels (or however you spell it)..Sorry if this offends anyone, but I am mulitracial so i don't mind discussing these things..

ALL human skin color is derived from only 3 main pigments, Black, Yellow, and Red. And EVERYONE has all 3 in their skin! So in fact we are all made up of the same colors, Just your heritage and area will cause different mixtures to come out.
As for the rich and poor all races have both. It's just that when people mention "whites" they think of americans and we enjoy a free society so we have more middle and upper class than the countries with a Monarchy and only a few are "allowed" to be wealthy.

There's no connection. Africa... India... those countries were plundered of their natural resources when Europeans came. When they left, they couldn't base their economy on much of anything. The same could've happened to the United States, but the Europeans didn't really find anything they liked.
Oh, and proper grammer would be wonderful.

I think that society, organized politics and religion are the key ingredients of what makes a nation work!
