There is no denying that the Babylonian Talmud

was the first source to read a Negrophobic

content into the episode by stressing Canaan's

fraternal connection with Cush….The more

important version of the myth, however,

origins of blackness - and of other, real and

imagined Negroid traits - with Noah's Curse

itself.

According to it, Ham is told by his outraged

father that, because you have abused me in the

darkness of the night, your children shall be

born black and ugly; because you have twisted

your head to cause me embarrassment, they

shall have kinky hair and red eyes; because

your lips jested at my exposure, theirs shall

swell; and because you neglected my

nakedness, they shall go naked with their

shamefully elongated male members exposed

for all to see…"
