it you aren’t a racist then it should piss you off when someone says you hate black people.

I don't follow that reasoning at all.

If somebody has gotten the wrong impression about me, the appropriate response would be to correct that impression, not to be pissed off about it.

(And shouting, "I am not a racist!" isn't likely to do it. It's the indirect things we say that make an impression.)
