Anyway, they can fire him if they want I guess. Obviously the smart thing to do at this point if you want to push back on any discussion about racism and its effects is, just keep your mouth shut.

To be honest at this point making a comment being a contrarian on the race issues is fireable just because it shows a lack of common sense and inability to make wise decisions.
That said - the firings are a way for companies to signal they are taking the issue serious. Meaningless in the long run unless they actually address any systematic issues within their own company.
