Even those people who 'qualify' may find themselves on the end of an angry exchange if they use it.

Too many people on this forum seem to think this word is used by just about every black person. It isnt. Even in my family there are people who will not use that word and if they do they will get an angry response. If you guys think that there is just some kind of qualification that you have to pass then you're free to say ***** at will then you clearly dont understand the history, impact and divisive nature of the word.
