Danny E. White, President
In 2010, after retiring from a long career in corporate America, I turned my focus to what had been pulling at me for decades, the need to address race, not as a biological reality, but as the deeply ingrained social construct that has shaped the American experience. My years in the corporate world had given me first-hand exposure to microaggressions, unspoken biases, and the ways in which racial hierarchy quietly, yet powerfully, influences opportunity and perception. I knew these patterns weren’t isolated to boardrooms; they were part of a centuries-old narrative written into the fabric of our nation.
In 2017, I began laying the groundwork for RaceWithoutIsm Inc, a platform to explore American history without filters, without omissions, and without sugarcoating. The goal was simple but radical: to trace the origins of race in the United States and show how this human-made idea has been used to divide, rank, and control.
In June 2018, RaceWithoutIsm became an official nonprofit in the State of Florida, and by 2021, we were granted 501(c)(3) status. These milestones marked more than just paperwork — they formalized a mission that had been decades in the making.
Through our educational sessions, we guide audiences on a historical journey — from pivotal events beginning in 1492 to the present, connecting the dots between the past and the present-day realities of racial hierarchy. We believe that by facing history head-on, we open the door to deeper understanding, more honest conversations, and ultimately, the dismantling of the myths that continue to divide us.
What began as a personal calling has grown into a passionate movement to enlighten minds and inspire change. RaceWithoutIsm isn’t just about history, it’s about creating a future where truth fuels progress, and understanding replaces division.
Living Diversity
Danny grew up in 'the south' during the late 1950's and graduated high school in 1976. He understands the sting of racism and intolerance first hand. His training background includes certification to conduct diversity training sessions for line and executive level corporate employees. In this role, his input to hiring managers was highly respected during succession planning sessions, thereby ensuring racial, gender and sexual orientation were not used as disqualifiers for those seeking upward mobility within the organization.
Credentials and Associations
Danny earned numerous certificates of competency to conduct interpersonal skills, time management, and leadership and management skills throughout his corporate career. He has been a 'life-long' student of learning, attending the University of Maryland (European Division), Saint Petersburg College, and the University of Tampa; all focused on management. He is a community activist, serving as a Director in his local civic association for seven years where he wrote grants for programs, managed the website and social media presence, managed membership communications and curated community improvement projects. He was 1st Vice President of the Saint Petersburg branch of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), and is President of the Community Remembrance Project Coalition (Pinellas Remembers), an all volunteer civic group focused on researching and commemorating victims of lynching in association with the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), Montgomery, AL. . In 2009, Danny was honored as one of only nine 'Paragon' employees within the CVS/Pharmacy organization for his significant contributions to the success of the company.
