Black Spirituality Religion : Christians: What are your views on "the Hamitic Curse?" Does it really refer to all Africans?

Peace & Blessings to you,

...more than once I have heard White Christians refer to Blacks as the cursed descendants of Ham, the son of Noah. The whole story of the curse of Ham can be found in Gen. 9:20-29:

"(20)And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: (21)And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. (22)And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. (23)And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. (24)And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. (25)And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. (26)And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. (27)God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. (28)And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. (29)And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died."

Christians, do you believe that the curse referred to in this Scripture refers to all Black people?

Nothing precludes anyone from reading the information, Sir, lol. No one asked you to get involved in the Study Group, okay?


Well Bro. Clyde, everyone, like me, may not want to visit a "Christian Study Group." What about this issue for people who don't want to visit a "Christian Study Group?"

Burtha Clyde, why is this passage always misread? Ham is not the one cursed, It's Canaan.

(25)And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. (26)And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.


Peace!
