Best Answer

Elizabethan Englishmen associated blackness with evil, death, and danger. They portrayed the devil as having black skin and associated beauty with fairness of skin. Englishmen denigrated Africans, claiming the Negroes were the descendants of Noah's son Ham, who was cursed by having black offspring for daring to look upon his father drunk and naked while his brothers averted their eyes.
