We have all accepted that in South Africa that the term has been claimed differently... but in North America and obviously the UK it still is not an acceptable way to address anyone. It's associated with slavery and ownership. It is not uplifting but a way for the white man to keep a foot on the neck of African people.
Why can't you accept the term means something different in another part of the world... the part we are discussing.
