About this meme

This imagery originates from the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, featuring the protagonist Carl "CJ" Johnson. The specific pose is often used in the game to indicate extreme stress or failure.
A low-resolution, 3D-rendered character model of a Black man (CJ) wearing his iconic white ribbed tank top (wife-beater) and blue jeans. He has both hands clutched to the top of his head, his elbows flared out, and a look of stunned, wide-eyed realization on his face. The lighting is flat, characteristic of early 2000s gaming graphics.
