“Ok so they were discussing this on another message board that I go on, and I got flamed pretty badly for saying stuff about Ham.”
Well, i have long thought that Ham was gay.
That’s why Noah, a sailor, lost his fucking mind at the thought that a gay man saw him naked when he was sloppy drunk.
“First of all I was told that Ham wasn't cursed at all, it was Caanan,”
That’s what the Bible tells us, yes.
“and second off I was told that I had been listening to a bunch of southern Americans that are racist and belong in the KKK.”
Yes. People who think that some humans are BORN to be slaves, which is what Caanan’s curse was, must be black.
“ Now I don't want to offend anyone but what is the big deal?”
The big deal is that racists need for Adam and Eve to be white, so whites aremain pure, while Caanan’s curse is where black enters the planet. So whites don’t have to fear being descended of blacks.
“ I have an understanding about some kind of war between the north and the south and whatever and that it had to do with black people but what in the world was it really about?”
About keeping blacks enslaved. Read The Cornerstone Speech the Vice President of the Confederacy made. It’s clear. To them, slavery is ‘the proper use of the Negro,’ as God intended.
“I have been told that it is only people in the south who say Ham was cursed”
No, that’s canon, right out of Genesis, that Ham’s 4th son was cursed. The idea that he was made black is a racist addition.
The story only makes sense to me if Ham was in the closet as a gay man.
Noah found out that Ham saw him buck naked and like many sailors, even if they joke about being gay the thought of ‘teh gay’ seeing their peepee is infuriating.
So Noah wanted to get back at Ham.
But HAM was needed to repopulate the Earth, and some gays have, you know, closed their eyes and thought of England.
But then, Ham had four sons to Noah’s three. By many cultures, that makes Ham MORE of a man than Noah.
So, facing the thought of a MANLY fag who’d seen his weewee, he cursed his own grandson.
