I understand the premise of "It's OK if I say it", but why would you choose to denigrate yourself in such a way?
If you don't have enough respect for yourself to stop using the term, how can you expect any respect from others?
It makes no sense.

I agree with you actually but I honestly don't agree that it's only Rap and Hip hop music keeping the word alive. Maybe, I'm special or something but I hear it used by white guys who wouldn't be caught dead listening to rap music all the time. In fact, just last week I was at my powder coater's shop dropping off some parts and a bunch of white guys were standing around and one of my favorite phrases popped up. "You ain't worth a dog turd in a nigger's back yard!". No rap music was playing...
