It is really the curse of Chanaan, youngest son of Cham. Cham did the evil act and the curse was put on his son. Loss of the land of Chanaan, and to be a servant, seemingly to all, was visited upon Chanaan who apparently drew Cham's attention to Noe's nakedness and ridiculed it. Nought to do with blacks or Arabs. Freedom comes with adherence to Jesus Christ. And of course Jesus Himself was to become a Servant.
From the Douay Rheims Bible, Genesis 9:
[21] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=1&ch=9&l=22-#x)And (Noe) drinking of the wine was made drunk, and was uncovered in his tent. [22] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=1&ch=9&l=22-#x)Which when Cham the father of Chanaan had seen, to wit, that his father's nakedness was uncovered, he told it to his two brethren without. [23] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=1&ch=9&l=23-#x) But Sem and Japheth put a cloak upon their shoulders, and going backward, covered the nakedness of their father: and their faces were turned away, and they saw not their father's nakedness. [24] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=1&ch=9&l=24-#x) And Noe awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him, [25] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=1&ch=9&l=25-#x) He said: Cursed be Chanaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
[21] "Drunk": Noe by the judgment of the fathers was not guilty of sin, in being overcome by wine: because he knew not the strength of it.
[23] "Covered the nakedness": Thus, as St. Gregory takes notice L. 35; Moral. c. 22, we ought to cover the nakedness, that is, the sins, of our spiritual parents and superiors.
[25] "Cursed be Chanaan": The curses, as well as the blessings, of the patriarchs, were prophetical: And this in particular is here recorded by Moses, for the children of Israel, who were to possess the land of Chanaan. But why should Chanaan be cursed for his father's faults? The Hebrews answer, that he being then a boy, was the first that saw his grandfather's nakedness, and told his father Cham of it; and joined with him in laughing at it: which drew upon him, rather than upon the rest of the children of Cham, this prophetical curse.
[26] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=1&ch=9&l=26-#x) And he said: Blessed be the Lord God of Sem, be Chanaan his servant. [27] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=1&ch=9&l=27-#x)May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Sem, and Chanaan be his servant. [28] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=1&ch=9&l=28-#x) And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years: [29] (http://drbo.org/x/d?b=drb&bk=1&ch=9&l=29-#x)And all his days were in the whole nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

Yes, but isn't it possible that the blacks and Madianites (Arabs) in Habacuc 3:7 are descended from Chanaan? Considering the events in Book of Habacuc 3 came long after the Book of Genesis 9, they could still be biologically descended from Chaanan and, variably, took on his phenotype (physical and mental disposition) that might have been altered from the curse and passed down through the generations.
Arabs who aren't baptized aren't much more civilized than blacks who aren't baptized, and they're a very temperamental & violent people not unlike blacks. Arab Muslims even kill their own daughters who find disfavor from their fathers. It's an epidemic.
It was the British empire that civilized the Arabs, and it was oil that enriched them. It wasn't by their own genius. If not for the Brits and oil reserves throughout the ME, they'd still be riding around on camels warring with other rival tribes ... butchering, raping and stealing, not unlike the Native Siberians (ostensibly called "Americans") did to each other long before Europeans colonized the Americas.
The black disposition needs no explanation. Again, look at Rwanda 1994 or Haiti since they killed and kicked out the civilized French, and reverted back to their African demonic spirituality of voodoo.
