Is There a Curse of Ham ?
The idea that there is a "curse of Ham" which condemns people of African descent to servitude is a racist misinterpretation of the Bible. In Genesis 9, Noah cursed his grandson Canaan to be a "servant of servants", but this curse was on Canaan only, not all of Ham's descendants. The Bible gives no support for the idea that God cursed all black people or designated them for servitude.

In fact, the Bible teaches that all people are made in God's image and equal before Him. The apostle Paul said, "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28). We must reject the hateful ideology that wrongly uses the Bible to justify the oppression of others.

This video explains what the text actually says and means - there is no biblical justification for racism. The "curse of Ham" was an idea created to justify slavery and prejudice, but it is completely unbiblical. Jesus came to redeem people of every tongue, tribe and nation. Let us reflect His love for all people and work toward racial reconciliation.
