Lurkette and Cynthetiq said it best. Keep records, leave a paper trail, and get witnesses.
As to hiring - I don't know what kind of work you are in but raise your standards or change them whatever it is so that anyone with this kind of shoddy attitude be they white, black, or green won't get the job.
I know the feeling and have been in a job where I was accused of something similar - only gender - not race. I had documentation though so did not get in trouble and later just found a different job/work. Until you find a better employee or another job (not suggesting you quite but people do change jobs) then it can be a huge frustration. Just stand tall and keep records of everything. Good Luck
