A term used to discriminate black people in the earlier centuries by white people to put them down similiar to nigger.
I'm the late 2000s however, the premise of the term changed. More ethnicities started using it to call other ethnicities who put down their own communities in order to favour Themselves or other ethnicities who do the same. Similiar to the "Uncle Tom".

Sheriff David Clarke: "These BLM Protesters are terrorists and deserve to go to jail."
People: "I can't believe they let this coon run things at the station.. it's almost like he doesn't even know his own skin colour."

1) raccoon
2) Maine Coon cat
3) derogatory term for a black person
The use of this term as an ethnic slur derives from the
practice of using coonhounds (dogs trained to hunt
raccoons) to recapture escaped black slaves.

Meaning to steal. Originates from african-americans being called "coons" rather than "niggers" or other more offensive slang. Many people considered african-americans to be thieves, hence the term.

Derogatory term for black people. Similar to "nigger." Originally a shortened form of the word "raccoon," used in reference to the animal. The black eye masks and noctural habits of the animal paralleled the characteristics of typical robbers and thiefs. The stereotype was then applied to black people.
FORREST: Hi, Earl! What’s goin’ on?
EARL: Coons are tryin’ to get into school.
FORREST: Coons!? Well, raccoons try to get on our back porch, Momma just chase ’em off with a broom.
EARL: Not raccoons, you idiot, niggers. And, they want to go to school with us.
FORREST: (with much surprise) With us? They do?
