It's a derogatory (IMO) term/phrase ("sell-out"; "you're selling out your people", etc) I've heard some African-Americans use. It may be used within other ethnic/racial cultures, I don't know. But I have heard it, many times. And to me I always take it as someone questioning another's motives and/or integrity for making a certain, unpopular decision.
