Film Overview

Niggology. When you first hear this word, you probably think, what is
niggology? But what you should be asking is who the man behind this
word, Niggology ? His name is Shawn Eckles, President of The Niggas
Corporation.

The idea for Niggology was conceived in the summer of 1999 (the
official name for the book came in 2002) when Shawn was on trial and
his freedom was at stake; he knew that the jury would take one look
at him and put him in the category of a nigga. After all, he was
young, black and still in high school. This experience got him
writing about the word nigga and he began to interview people on what
the word means to them and how they are affected by it.

Born and raised in Troutman, NC, just outside of Charlote, Shawn is
taking Niggology across the country. He is selling the Niggology
DVD, What is a Nigga?, which is the introduction to a series of
DVD's to come. He is traveling and conducting in depth interviews
with black males and others who consider themselves niggas. When you
see this DVD you will understand the mission is to attack the word
nigga and not hype it up.

Many people use the word casually and don't have an understanding of
why they use it. Shawn believes that words are a way to control and
command people and the word nigga has a strong hold on the black
community. He wants to address the word nigga and start to heal the
community especially the young, black community. The youth are being
bombarded with all these different images and they need to understand
what it all means. By doing this they can decide for themselves who
and what they are.

Is Shawn Eckles the first person to address this issue? Absolutely
not. But does he have a passion for this issue? We will let the
Niggology project speak for itself. Shawn has already been
successful in other project ventures such as:

-Street Money DVD Magazine already in the streets. Volume 1 and 2
