Well, my grandmother believes black people are the children of Cain. She believes that since Adam and Eve then Cain and Abel were the only humans on earth when Cain was cast out after killing Abel he mated with an ape and that's where the Mark of Cain comes from, making the offspring black. Granted she's 75, quit school in 8th grade, grew up rough in the Appalachian mountians and her most noted trait was fighting you can take that as you like. I was never religious, so I always just thought it was another quirk of old people until I got around high school and realized it's hella racist.

This is an old and racist theology. And it has a real problem when you consider that the flood wiped out that line.

Well she also chased me out of the garden with a rake once because she said stepping over her cucumber vines while I was on my period would kill them. I don't think many of her beliefs are backed by science or logic.

I believe the racist's counter is that Black folks derived from Noah's son's that laughed at him when he was uncovered... it's been awhile, I forget the details.
