Definition of racooning
slang, derogatory, chiefly used by people of color
1. To engage in behavior that aligns with white supremacist, conservative, or racially oppressive ideologies, especially for personal gain, status, or perceived safety, at the expense of one’s own racial or cultural community.
Often involves disavowing or undermining the struggles of people of color, and adopting rhetoric or actions that reinforce dominant white societal norms.

Etymology:
A blend of the word raccoon—a historically racialized slur in some contexts when referring to Black individuals—and cooning, itself a derogatory term rooted in minstrel imagery. The term “racooning” is a reclaimed, pointed form of cultural critique, used within communities of color to identify perceived betrayal for white approval or proximity to power.
