from what I gather, not that I am siding with gtg but is it ok to use the N word as long as I dont use it in a bad way or to offend?

so as long as my intent is not harmless then its ok?

You ever hear two white guys going up to each other and saying "What's up **********?!" That is some funny shit! Of course, I also think it is pathetically stupid.

In scientific studies it has become very clear that there is your conscious intent, and then there is your bias, as two completely separate things. There are a million little things you do and feel that have nothing to do with your intent. People are seriously deluded about their level of self-determination.

I just took a research exam at https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/research/
Below my results, it says

How implicit associations affect our judgments and behaviors is not well understood and may be influenced by a number of variables.

Thus, the question becomes, how do I change my subconcious so that I am less biased? My intent (true intent, actually thinking about my words and actions), my concious intent, is not to have a bias. But, what I was getting at is that my concious intent and my bias can be perfect, but if the person I am speaking to is not, then they can misunderstand my intent/word and call me what ever they want. That is really what I was getting at in "meaning versus intent."
