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.

Why do Mormans dislike Black race?
Mormons are getting better about this, but historically the Mormon church has maintained that black people are the descendants of Ham, a biblical figure, and that they have been cursed with black skin for the sins of Ham, their ancestor. So they alleged that all black people were cursed, basically.

How was the myth of Noah's curse used to subjugate the people of African descent?
The curse of Ham is a biblical fallacy perpetrated by people who wanted to justify the enslavement of black people. The premise was that Noah cursed Ham, his black son, and doomed him to a life of servitude to others (slavery). In actuality, there is no curse of Ham, who was Ethiopian, but a curse of Canaan, who was not.

How did the curse of ham contribute to the belief that slavery was okay?
The Curse of Ham was an interpretation of a biblical story that suggested Ham, one of Noah's sons, was cursed with black skin as punishment. This interpretation was used to justify the enslavement of people of African descent, suggesting they were inherently inferior and destined for servitude. It perpetuated the belief that slavery was morally acceptable for certain races based on religious doctrine.
Who are the modern descendants of Ham in Genesis?
A:Genesis 10:6: "And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan." While the Book of Genesis never says that Ham was black, the name can be read as suggesting 'dark' and eventually Jewish tradition decided that the 'curse of Ham' meant that he would have black skin and was therefore an attempted explanation why there are black people in the world, something that the Book of Genesis had not really considered. The curse of Ham was originally intended to explain why the Canaanites should be subservient to the Israelites, but the subsequent tradition that Ham was cursed by being given black skin came to be used to justify the enslavement of African people. This view means that the descendants of Ham were black Africans even though, for example, the actual Canaanites, supposedly descended from Ham's son Canaan, were brown-skinned Semitic people. A completely different, and equally irrational explanation that began in the Middle Ages is that serfs were descended from Ham, while nobles were descended from Japheth and free men descended from Shem.
Why do mormons believe some people have black skin?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe in the Curse of Ham (also called the Curse of Canaan) found in the Old Testament in Genesis 9:20-27. This story tells of Noah's son Ham, who saw his father naked which caused his son, Canaan, to be cursed with black skin.While Mormons believe this is the cause of the black skin of most African blacks, they do not believe that it makes these people inferior in anyway. People of all ethnicities and cultures are welcomed into the Church, and there are many black church members (and leaders), particularly in Africa.
Did Noah curse his son Ham or grandson Canaan in Genesis 9 verses 21 thru 25?
In Genesis, Noah cursed Canaan only, and did not curse Ham nor any others of Ham's children. The story of Noah and his Ark is now recognised by scholars as unhistorical. Since the Canaanites were the traditional enemy of the Hebrew people, the legend developed around a curse on their putative ancestor.

Why where white people racist to black people?
It is because the christian religion teaches the black people are the descendants of Ham. According to the Bible, Ham was one of the sons of Noah who moved southwest (modern compass direction) into Africa and parts of adjoining areas of Asia, and was the forefather of the nations there. The Bible refers to Egypt as "the land of Ham" in Psalms 78:51; 105:23,27; 106:22; 1Ch 4:40. Since the 17th century a number of suggestions have been made that relate the name Ham to a Hebrew word for black or hot, to an Egyptian word for servant or the Egyptian word Kmt for Egypt.[4]A review of David Goldenberg's The Curse of Ham: Race and Slavery in Early Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Its all BS though, just as the Christian religion.
Why do Mormons think black people are cursed?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that the curse given to Ham for revealing his father's nakedness in Genesis 9 was dark skin. Ham's children then went on to populate Africa and Arabia. Mormons do not believe that modern African or dark-skinned people themselves are in any way cursed, but that their black skin is the result of a curse on their common ancestor, Ham. Similarly, Mormons believe that the Native Americans have dark skin also as the result of a curse on their common ancestors the Lamanites, found in the Book of Mormon. This does not mean that modern-day Native Americans or Africans are cursed, only that their distant ancestors were. People of all races are welcomed with open arms within the church and all are treated equally. The Book of Mormon says that the Lord "denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile." (See 2 Nephi 26:33)
Where were blacks descended from in the Bible?
Ham, the youngest son of Noah, saw his father naked when Noah was drunk. So, Noah put a curse on Ham's youngest son, Canaan, and Ham's skin was "smitten." Smitten is interperted as the darkening of Ham's skin that his descendants inherited.
What is the Hamitic myth?
The Hamitic Hypothesis derives principally from Genesis 9:18-27. These verses recount the story of Ham, the son of Noah, who, upon discovering his father naked and in a drunken stupor, "exposed" him to his brothers, Shem and Japheth. [Some commentators conjecture that the sin committed by Ham involved much more than "exposure;" specifically, bestiality and sodomy.] Canaan, Ham's son, was also apparently involved. When Noah awoke, he "knew" what Ham had done and pronounced a curse in retribution; interestingly, only Canaan is directly mentioned: "Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants he shall be to his brothers." (Gen. 9:25) Sadly, Europeans and others interpreted the "curse of Ham" to mean that black people were cursed, even though no racial component exists in the Genesis story. But for generations, white colonizers used this myth to justify enslaving black people, since supposedly the Bible established that the "negro race" was to be punished for what Noah's son did. Of course, it is never explained how Noah, who by all accounts was Semitic, rather than black, had one black son, nor is it explained how the subjugation of the black race can be traced to Noah, who never mentioned his son's ethnicity.
What does the bible say about black sin people?
Having read the New Testament and having made feeble attempts to read the Old Testament, I do not recall any mention of skin color in any part of the Christian Bible. I presumed, because of the fairly narrow geographical location of the events of the Bible that the various authors were mostly olive or somewhat dark skinned as would be typical of the region, rather than black or white. So, while you cannot likely find any black people in the Bible, you also cannot find any whites.
