Nope.
Even a number of the "enlightened" people of the day didn't think highly of blacks; IIRC, Abe Lincoln himself made a few choice statements about them.
If you read the Black LDS link I gave you, however, you'll see that Joseph's opinion did slowly begin to shift near the end of his life, such that when he ran for President he proposed what he regarded as a non-violent and equitable means of abolition. Whatever his personal views were near the end, he eventually came to recognize that slavery couldn't stand any longer.
This is something that most people aren't given full context on, usually because the people who are telling them about the "shocking" material haven't themselves read it.
The main people written about in the Book of Mormon were part of a colony led by Lehi, a prophet. Unfortunately, not long after they landed, a massive rift developed that threatened the survival of the colony. Lehi favored Nephi, his #3 son, as the young man was industrious and a quick study. This infuriated #1 son Laman, who under the traditions of the time should have been the heir to everything. Within a surprisingly short amount of time, Laman and #2 son Lemuel had whipped up their households into a frenzy against Lehi and the others. Given that this was an extreme "house divided" situation, God decided to intervene. The Lamanites had their skin color darkened so that both factions could tell each other apart on sight, and soon after the Lamanites chose to settle elsewhere.
What most people don't tell everyone is that it goes back and forth as to which faction is the more righteous.
In some instances, both groups were wicked.
In other instances, one was more righteous than the other.
Yes, for a good chunk of the book, the Nephites are closer to God and so enjoy his favor. This, coupled with superior military leaders and a preference for armor (however crude), enable them to win the bulk of the military conflicts.
However, there are numerous instances in which the Lamanites are the more righteous. For example, at a period in which the bulk of the Nephites had abandoned organized religion, Samuel the Lamanite was given the prophetic call to preach unto them. Or when a group of robbers and thieves was plaguing the land at one point, they were able to recruit a number of Nephites... which they needed in order to replace the losses the Lamanites - who wanted no part of it - inflicted upon them in the process of driving them out.
Additionally, during the periods in which the Nephites were more righteous, there are accounts of individual groups of Lamanites who jump ship and follow their lead. For example, we have one group of Lamanites who took a vow of pacifism after realizing the carnage they had wrought through their wars; these people literally allowed themselves to be slaughtered by other Lamanites - who viewed them as traitors - than break their vow. Or we had another group of Lamanites who also took a vow of pacifism; when their lands were threatened, their teenaged sons rose to defend everyone so that their mothers and fathers did not have to break their vow (the sons, under the command of a Nephite officer, were so ferocious in battle that they frequently forced larger, more experienced units to pivot around to deal with them).
Then we have instances in which both groups were righteous, such as during the period after Christ visited the region. There were no wars or conflicts for several generations, and in fact it got to the point that you couldn't tell a large percentage of the Nephites and Lamanites apart.
So what ultimately happened?
Eventually, both groups wound up in a race to the bottom. The Nephites "won" in the sense that they wound up worse than the Lamanites, at which point they completely lost God's favor. Left on their own, they couldn't win and so were ultimately wiped out. The Lamanites only gave rise to some of the Native American population simply because they were the ones who were left.
