But whether God did or didn't is the point. God DID NOT. Noah did. Oh, and by the way, this was hundreds of years BEFORE the Mosaic Law, so nowhere do we have it written at all that this was a "crime," let alone a stated violation of God's commands. Distasteful, maybe.

No, this was Noah spouting off, and it had no effect whatsoever, because what God blesses, man cannot curse (well, cannot curse with any effect). Moreover, there is no indication whatsoever that this curse extended BEYOND Ham's sons---even it it did "take," and moreover, no evidence whatsoever that it was in anyway associated with black skin. It was, pure and simple, the concoction of racist minds.

Amen!

And I still hear it being used to justify segregation.
