It is not possible for you to prove Lincoln was not a racist, there is far too much evidence to the contrary.

So you say. I say different, but to get to the heart of the matter, let's hear your definition of a 'racist.'

I would suggest that you read a little history of Lincoln. Then in order to prove your claim you will need to prove that he never said any of the well attributed racist statements or that he never uttered any other racist statements that history has forgotten. Proving a negative is not possible.

Lincoln in his first debate with Stephen Douglas: "I, as well as Judge Douglas, am in favor of the race to which I belong, having the superior position. . . . I agree with Judge Douglas he [the Negro] is not my equal in many respects." Claiming that ones own race is superior and that the Negro race is not equal is racist by most definitions.
