I am a manager that was terminated from a market group of a big consulting firm although I had the highest chargeability (out of 3 White, male managers in the group)and solid reviews. My only poor review (which was used in the decision to terminate me) was from a Partner and Manager who kept on making stereotypical remarks about my race. Because of this review, I was ranked on the bottom among the 4 managers in the group. Should I sue the firm? File a complaint with the EEOC? What are my chances of being able to at least negotiate an increased severance package from the firm due to this fact?

Look, You must use whatever means is available to you to improve yourself financially. Racism in the workplace is there. I know that I have gotten things because I am white, and had comments made to me in secret about other people.
If I was black I would filing a lawsuit right now, whether or not racism was incolved. Go ahead and use your race as a bargaining chip while you still can. Do not feel guilty, Consulting Firms are spineless, (They don't feel guilty when a Partner promotes his frat brothers.) and you should not feel guilty when they decide to give you a large settlement rather than having them subjected to a lengthy trial.
