It used to be used in the slave and jim crow days as an equivalent to nigger or nigga, so basically used to bring black people down.
It is now used by black people to describe a black person who is a uncle tom type figure. They put down their own people because of self hate or to please massa (the white man/woman)

Originally, a generic anti-Black slur, essentially synonymous with “nigger.” That definition is now outdated, though.
More recently, it’s evolved into a slur WITHIN the Black community, used to refer to Black individuals who sell out their people, essentially synonymous with “Uncle Tom.”
