	Noah's Drunkenness and the Curse on Canaan
		And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness.
		Canaan is the fourth son of Ham (10:6) and so may roughly be said to represent one fourth of the Hamitic race.
		The curse on Canaan is the most difficult to understand because, as we suggested in an earlier question, it is hard to see why he should be cursed rather than his father, who actually did the wrong.

	Curse of Ham son of Noah
		The curse by Noah is a Prophecy and a marker for Bible students to take note that the Canaanites will play a role in the future of God's people and that the people of God will subjugate them.
		The curse on Ham's son Canaan was to be a servant of servants.

	The Curse of Ham and Canaan
		This is the Hamitic curse, supposedly a curse by Noah to all the race of Ham to be slaves forever.

		"And Canaan became the father of Sidon, his first-born, and Heth, and the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite and the Hivite and the Arkite and Sinite and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad.

	Mythical Interpretations
		Following the curse upon Canaan, and the corresponding blessings upon Shem and Japheth, is a brief statement which brings us to the end of Noah's life, and then the text immediately begins to explain what peoples came from which of Noah's sons, and what lands they inhabited.
		Among these were the Hittites (the Heth who was a son of Canaan in Genesis 10:15 is shown to be the father of the Hittites by comparing Genesis 23:10 with 23:20; and Genesis 26:34 with 27:46), the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, and the Hivites.
		What is clear is that the curse had nothing to do with the dark skin of some of Ham's descendants, but rather with the subjugation of Canaan's descendants, and especially their subjugation to the Israelites who were descendants of Shem.

		The Scripture do not say why Canaan was cursed and not Ham, some suggest that since Ham had already been blessed, 16 he could not have been cursed by his father; thus the curse had to fall on Ham's sons.
		The curse on Canaan was from God and not on Ham or his other three sons (and therefore was not on the people of Africa).
		And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.

		A curse (Gen. 3:14, 17; 4:11) is any privation, inferiority or other ill, expressed in the form of a doom, and not always bearing upon the object directly expressed, but upon the party who is in the transgression.
		Canaan was fl before he was cursed, and therefore his color was not the curse.
		Though the curse was pronounced upon Canaan it is a matter of historical fact and record that every descendant of Ham has been at one time or another or is now in a state of submission and servitude to his brethren as pronounced by the curse of Genesis 9:25.

	Kol HaKollel - Parshas Noach, 5766 - Torah.org
		First he cursed the descendants of his grandson Cana'an that they should be slaves to the descendants of Shem and Yefes, and then he blessed the descendants of Shem and Yefes.
		Cana'an, Cham's son, was an individual who, in the heat of the moment, would lose his self-control as well as respect for anything or anyone spiritually elevated, including his grandfather's honor.
		Therefore, Noach "cursed" Canaan's descendants to be slaves because that would ultimately be in their own best interest.

		He found that even fl people believed this poorly thought out and wrongly applied explanation of the "Curse." The main motivation for writing the book was to set the record straight by showing that the "Curse," though real enough, was fulfilled millenniums ago and was not related to Africans of any color.
		The true exposition of the "Curse of Canaan." (there is no "Curse of Ham" in the Bible) may also be found in some other exegetical studies but probably not in the detail and clarity with which it is treated here.
		The "Curse" prophetically states that it would be fulfilled in the subjection and enslavement of the Canaanite people by two separate branches of Humanity,-- the Semitic and the Japhetic branches.

	Re: Why did Noah cursed Ham who is father of Canaan -- UNITED APOSTOLIC BIBLE TALK

	Why was Canaan cursed?
		So whatever the basis for the curse, it is clear that it was not based upon anything that Canaan had already done.
		The fact that this curse applies not to Ham but to one of his offspring thus makes it certain that this is a prophetic curse.
		So the curse (a prophecy from God) merely predicts that Ham's descendants through Canaan will continue to be characterized by perverse behavior, since this is what Ham was like and what one particular branch of his descendants (who will reflect this behavioral trend) will be like (albeit from their own free will).

		Surely, then, though the curse of Canaan is not the immediate consequence of the conduct of Ham, yet there is an inseparable connection between the narrative and the prophecy, which compels us to take them together, if we would arrive at a correct understanding of the whole passage.
		Having thus shown that the curse had reference to all the descendants of Ham, we now proceed to prove that the Africans were the descendants of Ham, we now proceed to prove that the Africans were the descendants of Ham, and that the curse applies to them.

		It was Ham, not Ham's son Canaan, who was unfortunate enough to see Noah's nakedness, yet it's Canaan--progenitor of the inhabitants of the land that the Hebrews will later invade--who gets cursed.

	Straight Dope Staff Report: What's up with the biblical story of drunken Noah? (Part 2)
		The earliest commentators looked at the story in context--the curse on Canaan, followed by the table of genealogies and then the story of the Tower of Babel--and concluded that the sequence as a whole was meant to explain human differentiation, that is, the different nations, languages, and cultures imposed on mankind by God.
		Haynes writes, "Noah's curse was a stock weapon in the arsenal of slavery's apologists, and references to Genesis 9 appeared prominently in their publications." For example, J.J.

	Why Noah Cursed Canaan
		Shem and Japheth are blessed, Ham is ignored and a grandson, Canaan, who surely had no responsible part in Ham's misbehaviour, suffers the full brunt of his grandfather's anger.
		But it is not at all certain that the form of the curse was as severe as it appears to be.
