    For some it was punishment. Like “these people were bad so they are all dark skinned now.”

      According to Genesis Noah had three sons, whose descendents repopulated the earth.

      One day Noah got shitfaced drunk and Ham saw him naked and now all his descendents are cursed.

      That was one of the justifications for slavery.
