The reason why ham was cursed was because of the fact that Noah was celebrating the fact that he and his family have been set free from the aspect of what it happened with the flood and with that his son Ham noticed his father being naked and made fun of the issue and was cursed because of that; whereas his two brothers were respectful to their father Noah and they went in with a covering backwards and put the covering over their naked father.
Answer 2
Ham was not cursed by anyone. Noah cursed Canaan one of Ham's sons (Genesis 9).

∙ 11y agoThis question seems to be the subject of much dispute and uncertainty, but I don't know why since the verses make clear why the curse was placed.
Noah, Ham's father, got drunk and was passed out naked in his tent. Ham saw Noah in his naked condition and, for this, Noah placed the curse on Ham's son (Noah's grandson) Canaan.
The guess is the reason Canaan received the curse instead of Ham is the story is apocryphal and intended to explain why the land of Canaan was taken by God from the descendents of Canaan and given to the children of Abraham.

Its actually a fairly amusing story. In Genesis 9:20-25, you can read that Noah got drunk and fell asleep naked in his tent (this is after the flood, by the way). Noah's son Ham then sees him laying there, and tells his other brothers, Shem and Japheth. Shem and Japheth are respectful enough to not look at their father as they cover him with a blanket. When Noah wakes up, he is angry at Shem for disrespecting him and cursed him.

How is the Curse of Ham associated with black people?
Genesis 9:20-27 says that Noah's son Ham "saw the nakedness of his father" and God responded "Cursed be Cannan" (Ham's son) and went on to bless Shem (Noah's other son, for protecting his father's nakedness) and state that Cannan's descendants would be servants to Shem's. This story appears to be told as a justification for the much later Israelite invasion and subjugation of the Land of Cannan. Later, when race-based slavery emerged, racists re-interpreted this story to justify race-based slavery by concluding that Africans were descended from Ham and therefore cursed by God to be eternal servitude.
