France succesfully assimilated thousands of italians, poles, germans, spanish, armenians and jews. Most of those nowadays consider themselves more french than I do. I don't think there's any other European country that had to deal with that many immigrants, except for Great Britain maybe.
Sure, mistakes were made by the State regarding African immigrants, but they're not treated worse than poles were when they arrived (Poles were mostly sent to work in coil mines in the late 19th).
African immigrants who trully want to do something with their life manage to get jobs, fund their own company and what not.Not surprisingly, these ones are often quite critical toward the dumb lazy sobs that spend their time complaining, bitching and burning cars.
