From GQ....

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.gq.com/story/why-angry-white-men-love-calling-people-cucks/amp

The cultural importance of the cuckold in America is rooted in racism: in pornography, the wife of the cuckolded (almost exclusively white) husband is most commonly sleeping with African-American men, meant to provide an additional layer of humiliation if the white husband sees that man as “inferior.” In the world of pornography meant to elicit humiliation as an erotic sentiment, cuckold porn takes advantage of its viewers’ racist perceptions.

After the Civil War, the white supremacist movement radicalized its supporters with the fear of black men raping white women. Even Shakespeare evoked the sexual element of racial angst: in Othello, Iago attempts to pit Desdemona’s father against his Moorish son-in-law by evoking very specific imagery: “Even now, now, very now, an old black ram / Is tupping your white ewe.”

Ug. That explains the white nationalists (racists) use of the term. SunSeeker Jan 2018 #25
The term, "Cabrone" denotes a similar meaning, and often leads to a fight if said to the wrong person. TheBlackAdder Jan 2018 #29
