if i am filing a race discrimination claim against company can i quit and still file for unemployment

Question

my husband and i worked for the same company. they came to me before firing him and telling me he had some sexual misconduct claims against him.  this was on a friday and they wanted me to not tell him he was going to get fired till the following monday.  i said no. they fired him on the phone right there.  they also said they had no proof of these allegations.  i guess let me back up.  i am white and my husband is black.  after the call my boss told me that black men always cheat on their women.  and then asked me why i was married to a black man.  i was shocked.  we have 3 kids.  they fired my husband for no reason and i do not want to work for this company for those reasons can i quit and file for unemployment until my new job starts?
