Neocoon™ Pronunciation: /ˈniː.oʊ.kuːn/ (NEE-oh-koon)
(Modern/New Coon)
Definition: A pejorative term for a Black individual who is knowledgeable about Black history and current events, yet skillfully uses this knowledge to advance white supremacist sentiments and agendas. This person publicly supports Black interests sporadically (approximately 30% of the time) but predominantly (about 70% of the time) takes positions that undermine or oppose Black communities. They often present their criticisms as encouragement for accountability within the Black community, but in actuality, reinforce negative stereotypes and provide validation for white supremacist narratives.
Example: A self proclaimed Pro-Black social media influencer uses their platform to hold Black communities accountable in ways that support negative stereotypes and are praised by white supremacists, leading some to label them a Neocoon™
