    I think it's still said, but mostly in the southeastern States.

    It's a statement of fact what is wrong with saying I'm free, black and 21? what's with all the political correct crap why do we have to use color at all?  as long as the blacks keep saying black this and black that we'll never get rid of racism how long will this wimpiness go on?

    Would it be racist if a black person were to say that he or she was free, black, and 21? What's with this big push on political correctness and turning almost every non-racial argument into something racial? Great Scott, it's time to give this whole racial mindset a rest.

     When you are free you are not a slave Step. Whites are not slaves but blacks were. 21 is not  racist. It is simply stating that you are old enough to do what you want to do legally and you are free to do it because you are not black. Now you know what it means. Happy Friday.
