No, it’s not important to me and I would not use it. For me color of skin is not important. What happens however is other people use words, then people react to it, 40 years later, and we all have a discussion about that word, so of course I have to address the word.
Because sometimes you want to address a group of people by their specific attributes and would find a word for that handy.
That means a word which is not used in a derogate sense but a neutral way.
I am not looking for a slur word here. Someone else said there is a word besides the N-word which is used by rappers, without specifyng this word. So I lookes up a group I know (PRT) that is pro-black, pro-left and see which word they would use themselves and it turns out it’s that other word; which I personally would also not use to address this group.

Why do you “have” to address it? I’ll quote you from another post
Why is being able to use a slur without repercussion so important to you?
Edited to add the words “without repercussion” as of course you’re free to use the word, it’s the repercussion that’s the issue.
