Was terminated for job abandonment. Was told I failed to contact employer. Was told I was not authorize to be away from work. I have phone records of contacting employer. I have proof I was on a scheduled vacation during time of termination. Employer is trying to provide a cover story with it's statement of termination. I have proof of employer using racial slurs directed toward me, also employee's. I was isolated by my manager and told to sit and or work from a remote location to the team. I complained to management and H.R. regarding what I preceived to be discrimination and harrassment. Was told the usual we will investigate and follow up. I was terminated instead.

You may well have a race discrimination claim. To determine for sure, I would need more information about the racial slurs made against you (e.g., who made them and in what context), as well as more information regarding the way you were treated as compared to similarly-situated employees of other races. It also sounds as if you may have an even stronger claim for retaliation. If you complained to management and HR about perceived racial discrimination and harassment, that is considered "protected activity." Employers are prohibited from taking adverse action against employees in retaliation for their protected activity.
If you would like to pursue either claim, I would recommend that you consult with an attorney, such as myself, specializing in labor and employment law in Georgia.
