I don't believe the onus is on US as B/black folks to once again change up our identity to pacify the fears and misunderstandings of others. I think we should take ownership wholeheartedly and broaden the scope & implications of our chosen term of Black (stressing the capital B here). See my post from a few weeks ago for more that though....
I have no real issue hearing it in general from anyone. But like I posted already, it depends on who's saying it and the context that they're saying it. There are nuances in how the word is spoken that we just pick up on by nature.
