The concept of race is like any other ideology in which one can either believe in or not. The concept of race is the belief that there is a factual link in which people can be classified in order to establish a group in which people either belong to or are excluded from. Every individual is unique in which no one on earth is the same or has ever been the same; therefore the only factual link to another individual on earth is one's parents, making the present day's concept of race, a false construct.
Taking race as a concept of linage, the fact we are all capable of procreating and going back to the beginning of time establishing links, the only conclusion would be that we are all related, making there only being one race, the human race. Humanity is a spectrum of relative characteristics and attributes with no lines of demarcation. In order for the present day's concept of race to be true, a classification of race would have to be mutually exclusive, meaning we are of only one race. The offspring of two individuals with a high degree of deviation between them, can not be create a different race, when linage is the only factual link.
One that uses race as a human identifier, can not claim to be a non-racist, because they have acknowledge their distinction between individuals based on race.
Proving the statement: If you believe in race, you're a racist.
Where q = you believe in race
and p = you are a racist
There are four possibilities between q & p, with q conjunction p:
The truth value of q conjunction p is false except if both q and p are true.

Let me take the liberty to identify these 4 different types.
#1 Race is a valid way to classify humans and I believe in classifying humans by race.
Now this type of individual gets all of societiess' scorn, but are proud to be identified with a racist. They join all the racist groups, pro-race or anti-race. This is the type that can only get their self-esteem out of a Cracker-Jack-Box. This is where you have your race whores and pimps. They are more interested in using the difference between individuals to benefit themselves.
#2 Race is a valid way to classify humans and say "I'm not a racist".
These are the guilt ridden individuals that know that all individuals are different, but know in the political correct society; it's best to play the game, or even get points for going along. Or they see the double standard and milk it for all it's worth, a race whore. They are either brain dead, brainwashed, self deluded, or a liar that benefits from a true double standard, or have guilt for the accident of birth. These are your sanctimonious racist, or racist undercover. And you have your religious fanatic that let the race whores and pimps influence their lives.
#3 Race is not a valid way to classify humans and but I do believe in classifying humans by race.
They don't like any particular group of people for what ever the reason, be it because of their ideology, religion, politics or group think.
#4 Race is not a valid way to classify humans and I evaluate people on an individual basis.
The fact remains that no one is identical, so race is as subjective as any other human identifier. Beauty, another human identifier has value in making individual choices. We are individuals with labels of distinction, where all labels of distinction result in name calling. Name calling in not negative, if it is the result of knowledge and fact. Name calling is negative when it has no correlation with reality, and not backed with knowledge and fact.
Race is only a label of distinction, so people's problem with race, isn't with the label of who they are, it is with the reality of what they are. Until they deal with the reality of what they are, they will never resolve the issue with the label of who they are. All we are is individuals, and the rest are just labels of distinction. The real issue is, people don't like another person's inferiority.
Where racism becomes a problem, is when someone else dictates and projects on to another their values, whether it is accepting or rejecting of another because of social or political pressure. Forcing someone to accept another based on race, is as racist as forcing someone to reject based on race. A Fascist elitist that wants to impose their standards of race are sick, vile, and repulsive individuals. The reason why racism exists and will always exist, is because people just like themselves, have the right to reject others, as they have the right to reject them. Until they accept everyone on earth, they have no right to demand others to accept them.
A claim of racism is only the demand to be accepted because of race, imposing their standards and belief of race onto another.
A claim of racism is only the projection of one's own belief in race, reaffirming the inferiority of the differences between the individuals being compared, from their perspective. Therefore, a self-proclaimed racist, with the sole object to control another's freedom of choice, based on race, through intimidation.
The politics of race has become an absurd tool for manipulation by the racist. Just like one that believes in Catholicism is a Catholic, one that believes in the concept of race, one is a racist. The most sick, vile, and repulsive type of racism, is when race is used as a political tool to force an agenda based on group distinction creating a Fascist state!
