The Negro Race
Yochanan Zev:
It says that NOAH, not G-d, cursed CANAAN. Are all of these peoples "cursed" as well?
Cush = Ethiopia/Somalia/Sudan
Put = Tunisia/Libya
Mitzriam = Egypt
Caanan = Phillistines
So this guy looks like a caucasian to you?
Yochanan Zev:

Then what is the origin of the Philistines? I'm under the impression that the Canaan were absorbed by "Sea People", invaders which settled in the souther region during the time of prophets.

Their origin has been debated among scholars, but modern archaeology has suggested early cultural links with the Mycenean world in mainland Greece.
Most authorities agree that the Philistines are not indigenous the regions of Israel/Palestine which the Bible describes them inhabiting. The Bible contains roughly 250 references to the Philistines or Philistia, and repeatedly refers to them as "uncircumcised", unlike the Semitic peoples, such as Canaanites, which the Bible relates encountered the Israelites following the Exodus. So this probably means they are canaan
It has been suggested that the Philistines formed part of the great naval confederacy, the "Sea Peoples", who had wandered, at the beginning of the 12th century BC, from their homeland in Crete and the Aegean islands to the shores of the Mediterranean and repeatedly attacked Egypt during the later Nineteenth Dynasty. Though they were eventually repulsed by Ramesses III, he eventually resettled them, according to the theory, to rebuild the the coastal towns in Canaan.
mord:
Yes in Hebrew philisstines pilishtim in heb comes from the root word invaders.You are right they were aegean people greek
Yochanan Zev:
So it is true that the Philistines "absorbed" the Canaanites -- conquered, intermarried, or assimilated into their culture to the point that the two peoples were indistinguishable?
Otherwise it's safe to assume that the Canaanites were not black.
