The didn't fire you for "absolutely no reason". Either you didn't believe the reason they gave you or didn't think it was fair.
Unless you belong to a union, you are an "at will" employed. They generally don't need a reason to fire you. If you feel that they fired you for an illegal reason such as racial discrimination, then you should see a local employment law attorney.
In general, unless you are civil service, in a union or have a written employment contract, you are an 'at will' employee that can be disciplined or fired any time for any reason, other than illegal discrimination under the Civil Rights, or Whistle-blower, or similar statutes. Your goal should be to keep your employer happy with you.
Now, if you have credible grounds under those theories of 'illegal' firing, feel free to contact me.
