It's just profitable. It's very easy to gain money and attention by peddling this oppression narrative if you have a little talent as a writer. And with the pre-existing racial tensions in America, stirring up emotions about white-black racism (note even how rarely articles about other types of racism appear in the media) it's a reliable button to push when you want clicks.

I don't think there's an overarching conspiracy, just a lot of people writing articles designed to inspire that most social media friendly of emotions; outrage.
