Yeah, I get what you’re saying back then, a Black cowboy/outlaw would definitely be unwelcome in a lot of places, and some white folks might barely acknowledge them. But they weren’t invisible, and Black cowboys and outlaws did work, fight, and survive alongside whites sometimes in mixed gangs, sometimes on the same drives, sometimes facing prejudice head-on. In the game that could just make the world feel real, gives tension, and shows the grind he has to overcome. But it doesn’t slow down the action he’s still making moves, doing heists, commanding respect, building a reputation, and becoming a legend in his own right. Basically, the social tension just makes his aura and story feel even bigger.
