It's actually some of the stupider shit in the bible.

Apparently Noah had the power and authority to not only build cargo ships carrying the largest zoo on earth, but also to put curses on entire races of people. Then of course a white man gets a hold of this scripture passage and uses it as a way to justify slavery so he can make a profit.

It's utter stupidity and of course, it is usually ignored by most christians or justified poorly by the apologists.

Honestly, that book has been such a filthy disease on this planet.

Depends on whose beliefs you want to look at, mormons decided to develop that concept beyond the original narrative in their own scriptures.

"White and delight-some" ftw!

I don't have any idea if the same can be said around the globe, but here in the US christianity has a decidely ethnic flavor. The narratives that are emphasized and taken as core to the functional side of belief are largely different for minorities than us palefaces. A prophetic cycle of escapes or deliverance from slavery and oppression have featured heavily in what you might call "predominantly african american services" for some time in the U.S. "Let my people go" isn't Charleton Heston speaking on behalf of the whiteys and their spiritual descendants just as one example.
