imagine having a continent all to yourself with access to vast untold riches: gold, diamonds, the best farmland on the planet, iron mines, easy access to the orient and europe, clean water, plentiful jungle (wood, wildlife), a perfect set up to operate as a trading hub for the developing world, i could just go on and on, and these people haven't figured out how to grow vegetables yet.

I will make a counter argument. Why didn't whitey discover the minerals for us, and taught us how to extract them so they could buy it from us later, instead of discovering it, keeping it for themselves, and pillaging the land from tribes?

Whitey has been trying to teach blacks how to take care of themselves for centuries. It simply hasn't worked.
