This is my second entry for GTA - San Andreas
Today I ran an errond for Ryder, he called the favor..."Robbing Uncle Sam", which raised red flags for me right away. This mission Ryder jumps into a truck with me and told me to go to the compound at Ocean Docks. We arrive and theres a guard at the place, he tells me to take care of him, I do as told and bust into the warehouse with the van whilst doing so I run over two additional guards. After I grabbed a fork lift and pretty much as the title states "robbed Uncle Sam". By doing so, I got brownie points with the big guy named "Big Smoke"
When I was finished with Big Smoke, I was still getting shot at and I eventually died for stealing from good ol' Uncle Sam. There some irony for ya.
I was so mad for dieing in the game, that I ended up doing a drive-by mission killing much more than the required of the gang in Idlewood.
I learned from this entry of the game that not only can CJ have ethnic issues
with others around him; but ethinc battles and issues with other mobs inside the game, just from the missions that he receives trying to gain respect from the mob bosses.

When I did play Grand Theft Auto games back in the day (rarely as it was), I never saw any implications or quandaries with the game itself. Sure, I would take a car, run it into a shop and shoot up the place, but at the end, when I stopped playing the game I put the controller down and that was that, back to real life. Although, I was in 8th grade at the time…
As the years passed, the game received more and more abuse and insults than any other game, and I started to realize how much racial content there really was in the game. However, this doesn’t change my opinion, its still a game after all.
I’ll kick this off by saying what I think about the game a little. The game takes place in San Andreas in California and some Nevada a most proper place for the protagonist. The main character is named Carl Johnson, a gang member that blends in perfect for the crime in the city. The first thing I started doing when I got to playing was not as much the storyline, but hijacking a car and getting some money for new weapons. However, I quickly found trouble when I went into an area were I was obviously not welcomed, getting shot at and chased by other cars that were pimped out. These actions pretty well took up most of my 30 minutes very quickly, I just couldn’t stop driving my car as fast as I could over jumps and shooting pedestrians down.
To conclude session I of San Andreas, I have defiantly taken the position that Gee describes in his writings, seeing me as Carl Johnson. Thus far, the racial content is pretty apparent and brutal. I’ve gone around beating up different people from other origins multiple times, and they always come back for more, or did I run the over with my car…
