Sugarfly and the Swastika

Jr. made it clear to Sugar, on several occasions, that he had separatist beliefs - he made it clear that he wanted a Caucasian mate. Before Sugar and Jr. got married, she had a one-night stand with Nick (a mulatto) and eventually bore his child, Nicole (who came into this world, ebony by nature and ivory by appearance) so Jr. thought the child was his. Ms. Elsie, born in the early nineteen hundreds, is Sugar's grandmother and Jr.’s family housekeeper. A quadroon and a product of the black code era, Elsie was light enough to be colored and colored enough to be white, and made the bold decision to enact "ethnic cleavage." Sixteen years later, a freak auto accident involving Nicole, put Sugar and Jr.’s past and future in prospective - at the hospital. Nick, a school teacher, moved back to town after sixteen years but he did not know Nicole was his daughter - he was by her side. Jr.'s family supremist friend also showed up for support. Ava, Sugar's mother (Sugar told Jr. she had died in a car accident), showed up. Ms. Elsie and Jr.'s family were on vacation but sent their love. My name is Alex. I'm Sugar's first special friend and the keeper of all the family secrets. The truth finally came out. That's when Jr. found out that Sugar was black. Sugar found out that Jr. was a white supremist.
