Without details this memo isn't credible. Just like he doesn't have to mention any details, we don't have to believe him.

Let's say you're an HR in this situation. What would you do?

No, it's not enough. He made a few very specific and strong statements that need to be backed up with something.

Specific examples would help. I'm genuinely curious what those "hateful words" were.

"My teammates always had something to say about everything. but when it came to the violent policing of black bodies, they were silent."
My guess is that they were afraid of retaliation and wisely chose to keep mouth shut. PC now is the new religion, especially in big companies. A few centuries ago, when religion was strong, engaging in a debate with strangers about whether the god exists would be a suicide: unless you say something along the few pre-approved lines, you would be reported and retaliated against.
It's a curious situation when black and white people see each other privileged: whites are privileged because "white privilege" and blacks are privileged because they receive special catering and are immune from many things that would get a white guy fired on the spot.
