if a state is a voluntary employment state, then any employer can fire any employee simply just because without a reason given. like wise any employee can quit for any or no reason.

You can be fired for the color of your socks.
I agree. but as a Yankee fan I have no problem with being fired for being a Red Sock fan.

Your post is a bit difficult to parse - but anyone that claims racism is a "white" thing is not very knowledgeable.

Racism can come from anyone.

The only right you had was protection from your government regarding free speech. The notion that other private citizens had to tolerate your free speech with no consequence was imaginary. You made it up. You can't lose things that are imaginary.

The participants of Unite The Right never thought about that.

Funny, there was a lot more protection for workers from losing their jobs AND a lot less illegal immigrtion when private sector unions were stronger, maybe the alt-righters should've gotten behind strengthening private sector unions rather than embracing a cult of personality (led by a guy who does not share their bigotry or most of their views)

But I'm playing by the same standards for everyone else. They are incorrect or perhaps not, but they can't be racist.
