"Back in the day" encompasses a lot of time. Did people of my grandparent's generation sincerely believe that black people were not as smart as white people? Yes, generally. Did people of, say, 12th Century England believe that? No, the African people that they saw were generally either wealthy traders, diplomats or the servants of those people and black people in general were a symbol of Christian wealth (not that all of them were Christian, but contact with the wealthy Christian kingdom of Ethiopia created this stereotype). The big racial divide was between Christians and non-Christians. And even when the trans-Atlantic slave trade and deliberate dehumanisation of Africans was at its height, there was still the massive sugar boycott by ordinary middle-class people, who may not have believed that African people were their equals, but certainly believed that they didn't deserve to be enslaved.

tl;dr "back then" is a long and complicated time
