You need to look for more than an oppression dynamic. What happened with Blacks in the west (English-speaking countries, anyway) is that they went (very quickly) from being institutionally oppressed to being institutionally privileged and eventually socially privileged on the basis of their race. Blacks have become an sacred object for brain-warped westerners. Blacks conspicuously announcing their blackness are trying to cash in on their privileged status.

There's a little more to it than that, but that dynamic is far more anomalous than common historical socio-political persecution. You might have an empire going from persecuting all the christians to stamping out pagans within the space of a decade, but the resulting "I'M CHRISTIAN" rhetoric is only going to look vaguely like the fucked up situation with modern wokeness, since Christians in theory worship God and Christ not Black people.

A variant of your statement is true. There is a cottage industry behind the "outrage mill" that the pseudo-left perpetuates. These are those upper middle class private liberal arts school graduates, usually women or minorities, who produce nothing of value but make a living amplifying and promoting outage. ("All white folx is demons. Pay me.")
This outrage machine usually has some basis in actual injustice, but it strategically distorts and perpetuates said injustice because of the parasitic economic relationships said outragers derive from it. There is a cynical for-profit motive to their outrage.
