Danny got tongues wagging earlier this month when he claimed that "not enough white people call out racism when it rears its ugly head."
"Yes, it may be uncomfortable and, yes, you may be the singular unpopular opinion, but stand firm and have courage. We can no longer be silent," he told followers on Twitter.
He went on to claim that there was a "lack of empathy" among white people towards racism.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE after his comments went viral, Danny said that he had come to acknowledge his privileges as a white person and said he wanted to use his experiences to teach others.
"My acknowledgement of my privilege frames my outlook and brings empathy, gratitude and responsibility into my life. It’s the driving force behind all my social cohesion work – SHOUT for A Safer South Africa, our library building project and my keynote Worlds Apart or Partners with Kabelo Mabalane, where we give people much needed tools to navigate around our racially charged society."
