So I looked more into the genealogy, and even if we somehow take Noah's curse on Canaan to extend to all his descendants (absurd IMHO), black Africans descend from Cush who is another son of Ham.

And a few other pieces of evidence about Cushites in the Bible.

• Moses also married a Cush woman, so the idea that there was this clear class distinction is just not true according to scripture.

• You can also look in the New Testament where a Cush priest is coming to the temple to worship, not as a slave but as a dignitary of the Ethiopian queen.

• Cush was also the father of Nimrod, who was a king of Babylon I think after the flood.

The "curse" I see on black people is often the sin of witchcraft and ungodliness. What do my successful family in America have in common? Strong Christian faith. Not that every single person is born again saint, but a large proportion of them being believers lifts up the entire group. I saw it in my own life first hand. Without faith, following the world, I crashed and burned despite every opportunity and a good deal of natural talent. Faith was essential.

And if you look at people in the village in my father's country (which I'll keep to myself) there is plenty of witchcraft and voodoo masquerading as "christianity"
