No. It's not my place to use that word, and when I do it just perpetuates the privilege I have and further entrenches the inherently racist qualities of that word.

It's just like straight people shouldn't dare use the words 'faggot' or 'dyke'.

They're all words of oppression, and the respective groups of oppressors have no place in using those words if they wish to wish to move on from what's happened in the past.
