No he wasn't. race didn't even phase him as he was more interested in our genetic commonalities than in our differences. This article is pretty accurate as far as I can tell: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Darwin#Publication_of_the_theory_of_natural_selection

In Charles Darwin's own words:"At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world."-Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man. In addition, Charles Darwin subtitled his magnus opus The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life. Thomas Huxley, who was the man most responsible for advancing Darwinian doctrine, went so far as to say "No rational man cognizant of the facts, believes that the average Negro is the equal, still less the superior, of the white man."
