cuck

is a slur rife with the implicit racism and White Nationalism which suggests that being cheated on is bad enough (cuckolded), but being cheated on with a black man (cuck porn) is uniquely awful.

So what is a "cuck"? The dictionary doesn't have a definition, because "cuck" is shorthand for "cuckold," a word you might remember from high school Shakespeare. Merriam-Webster defines cuckold as "a man whose wife has sex with someone else." It's been around since the 13th century, but has taken on a new 21st-century meaning as its own form of pornography, usually showing a white woman having sex with a black man, while her "emasculated" white husband watches. The implicit racism — being cheated on is bad enough, but being cheated on with a black man is uniquely awful — displays the quintessential blend of hyper-masculinity and White Nationalism that is signature alt-right.
