So the power the word has has been allegedly stripped away, but it's wrong for anyone but black people to use it?
Anyway, I don't really think that referring to white people as "the dominant race" is really help the whole race scene. Everyone is equal.
Not all black people were slaves, and not all white people owned slaves. Please read what I wrote earlier in response to slavery.
