Currently, there is no accepted term for someone who accuses others of racism. The term "race-baiter" is the closest fit but this term has the connotation of trying to invoke racial strife (which may not necessarily be the intent of someone making false claims, e.g., Jussie Smollett was trying to advance his career and associated salary when he made false claims of racism). Given the lack of such a term and in honor of Jussie Smollett, it is recommended that a new noun be defined for someone who falsely accuses others of racism, i.e., "smollett". For example, "Al Sharpton is a smollett." Other related terms can also be defined, e.g., smollettism.
