France just won the #WorldCup, but so did Cameroon, Angola, Nigeria, the DRC, Mali, and Guinea and Senegal.

The World Cup win for France is interesting. Those Muslim & African immigrants will be celebrated for a week then will be back to being followed around stores, harassed by police, & forced to adhere to white, French social norms. Who is the win really for again? #WorldCup2018
