::Ham must have done something obvious to Noah as to allow Noah to "know about it" after he awoke, as he definately had more than a hangover.  Merely telling the brothers that Dad's naked wasn't enough, and some writers speculated was that Ham took advantage of his father's nakedness and quite possibly raped him, then boasted about it, hence the anger from Noah at knowing what Ham done.  As to the curse of Canaan...the sons of Ham, according to the Table of Nations in Genesis 10, populated the southern Middle East, Egypt, and Africa.  Africans for generations have been kept in a servile manner in one form or another, including American slavery, South African apartied, the current crisis in the Sudan, and others.  [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 09:12, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

:::The problem with that last part is that I don't think there's any correlation between Canaan and Africans.  Africans likely descended from Cush, another of Ham's sons, but not from Canaan, the one with the curse.  [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 10:19, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
