(In theory she is apparently, if you Google Margret Sanger, lots of articles appear to pop up about some aim she had within the idea of Birth Control clinics that has a hint of supposed racism)
There is no hint. She met with the KKK and had a very specifically named "Negro Project" which clearly defines her aims, even if, thankfully, she never succeeded. The basics of getting birth control out to women was awesome, and she should be commended for it, but her intentions were never truly so pure:
What is written in the previous paragraph is misleading. She did not meet with the KKK. She was asked to speak before many many groups. One of those groups that asked her to speak was a group of KKK wives. She agreed to speek with them (as she spoke with many groups, regardless of religion, race, ideology, etc.), but she remarked afterwards that it was a very strange meeting and that she had to talk to them as if they were children (because apparently she felt they were not very bright or educated).
Her views about race were very complicated, as were her views on "eugenics." Regarding eugenics, she believed in some respects in "negative eugenics" -- i.e., that bad genes in the gene pool should not be spread through reproduction. But she did not believe in positive eugenics -- i.e., the idea that you could create a better gene pool through reproduction by better specimens of people (like the Nazi idea of the Master Race (Ubermenschen)). She always believed that healthy women, regardless of race or religion or color, should be able to make their own choices about birth control, and the only way to control population was to educate women.
Other than that, as I already wrote, her views on race were very complicated. She was shaped, in part, by her times. Some of her views could certainly be termed racist by today's standards, but some of her views on race could be regarded as extremely progressive.
In short, this question cannot be answered by a direct and unequivocal "yes" or "no."
