What you’re about to read illustrates the very definition of “caucasity.”
Black Twitter is absolutely baffled by a few screenshots showcasing the contents of a fantasy novel series.
The series, known as the “Never Veil” series, was written by Amy McNulty.
Although the author is white, the book covers for all three novels in the series depict young Black women. The books are called “Nobody’s Goddess,” “Nobody’s Lady,” and “Nobody’s Pawn.”
The excerpt that was posted on social media illustrates a scene where one of the Black female characters is getting her hair done by her mom, but this isn’t a touching, bonding scene between mother and child.
Instead, the author chooses to depict a mother struggling to comb through the character’s kinky hair and alludes to the use of bacon grease to moisturize her scalp.
Read if you dare:
“Mother dipped the wooden comb in the bowl of water she’d brought to the kitchen-table-turned-rack-of-torture. It wasn’t working too well. I could tell from the constant battle between my scalp and the roots of my hair that so badly wished to tear free of the skin. But it was either that or bacon grease, and I wasn’t having any pig fat slathered over my hair in attempt to tame it, not today.”
