Who within the company makes that decision? What if a conservative white manager fires a liberal black employee citing that they were making other employees uncomfortable with their political diatribes?

That would be the employer's decision. If you are fired for these sorts of reasons, you should be more than welcome to tell your story to people. Perhaps it will hurt the company's business.

Er...then the employee is fired, if the employer is in a state that has no protections for political speech at work. I don’t understand this question. Is it your belief that white managers never fire black employees?
