at least as of now, it’s not illegal to be a jackass or a racist. I would think that he has grounds to seek damages from the employer. I may not want to be friends with this guy, but his rights were just violated and he was financially harmed at the same time. the only real exceptions are public officials/cops, etc who are expected to be full time representatives of their employer

Most companies have rules in their employee handbooks against such behavior.

Was he fired for illegal activity? Is that the only reason a person can or should be fired?

It's also not illegal to fire someone for any reason in at-will employment state. If the guy had half a brain, he would have deleted the post after the idiotic comments, or not responded to them. The feral comment shows he read the comments.
