Oh, what a shot over Russell's bow, you're such mean hate filled twisted racist nimrod, that sounds like something you would say, probably to your dying day? Intelligent men's views change over time, what you quoted was uttered back in 1929 and what you would have been saying had you lived then?
It is sometimes maintained that racial mixture is biologically undesirable. There is no evidence whatever for this view. Nor is there, apparently, any reason to think that Negroes are congenitally less intelligent than white people, but as to that it will be difficult to judge until they have equal scope and equally good social conditions.
—Bertrand Russell, New Hopes for a Changing World (London: Allen & Unwin, 1951, p. 108)
