I voted no, but I have to say, I agree to a certain extent with those who expressed their dislike of playing a black character. Games like GTA are, in part, fun because you can identify with the main character, and imagine it's you whose doing these things that you wouldn't/couldn't do in real life. When the main character is of a different race or gender from you, this identification becomes more tenuous.
