Yes it did not happen on large scale but it still happened. And there were people before the Boers came. And if what you say is true then the boers can exploit their part of Africa all they like but I doubt that they were the first peoples to live in that area.True enough but it still matters wether the colonists where their first or not. If they were then if they want to exploit the minerals then they can go for it. But if they are going to kick out the indigenous people in the process then no, that is not right.In many instances the "white devils" as you described them did in fact kill much of the local populace or at the very least enslave them into the workforce. Are the settlers cannibals? No of course not. But did they mine their sacred monuments or cut them down for materials? Yes. Say if you were a native inhabitant who's whole life is dedicated to that particular monuments as it was supposedly placed their by the gods and all of a sudden it is dug up by the settlers, don't know about you but I would be fairly pissed.But the native people were their first so it's their right to shit in the river if they want to, for they have no use for gold or money anyhow. As for the Europeans being right in benefiting more from the natives, I could not disagree with you more (surprise!). Who cares if the Europeans were the first to discover the diamonds or whatever? The Europeans should not have had so many or wars or be so greedy and cut down the forests and mine the mountains in order to fill their greed or war or whatever is the fashion to do in Europe at the time.

You have a habit of going off on tangents where you do nothing but rant about how awful western civilization is. I'm going to ignore those in this post.

No, it doesn't matter if they were there first or not. Why would it matter? As for slavery, it's not a European invention. Arabs took more African slaves than Europeans did. Furthermore, Europeans were the ones to eventually end slavery. Usually, they had to do this by force, since slavery had been engrained into the society of their colonies since before Europeans had ever arrived there.
