assuming that yours is not a question just to provoke some folks into answering with racist and/or extremist undertones the asnwer is:
The bible (OT) refers to people of different tribes and implies some preference based on belonging to the tribes of Israel or not. Only with interpretation can you find passages which might elude to skin colour.
However, the bible is all about God's love and grace and compassion, and anybody who would try to find bible verses to interpret them in a racist fashion is completely wrong, and not a christian
to be a christian means to be loving caring and tolerant, who are we to judge ?
we need to spend more time on helping people and ourselves and not worrying about skin colours and racial issues
God bless you

What particularly are you wanting to know?...Ive never known of the bible to say anything in particular about "black people" the only thing Ive every heard discussed in church is that God divided us (ethnically) so that we could see that we were all different but not in a bad way...(in most bibles in the front or back there are random questions that point you to certain scriptures in the bible that deal with those issues, study bibles are great!)

They were the seed of Cain and were separated from the rest of Adam's posterity. When the flood came, Ham had a wife, Egyptus (meaning forbidden), that was of the linage of Cain. Again, after the flood, they separated from the rest of Noah's posterity and founded the land of Egypt and spread throughout the land of Africa from there. Ham set up a government after the patriarchal order he learned from his father, Noah, but lacked the authority that Noah gave to Shem instead. From Shem came all the Semitic peoples, including the Hebrews from Heber and Abraham down through the Israelites. The other son, Japeth, was the father of the oriental peoples. Thus, we have three main groups of people, the caucasians, orientals and ******* from the three sons of Noah.

Havent you seen all of the pictures. God, Jesus, the Disciples, the Profits, writer, all of them have blonde hair and blue eyes so this must mean that during the time of the Bible there were no minorities or to them we didnt exist since the popular belief was that if you were different you had no soul.

Uh.
The Bible was written in Africa and the Middle East. Most of the writers were black/Arabic.

I don't recall the Bible specifically saying anything about black people. I think that Nubians are mentioned and they're black, but I don't really remember what exactly what was said.

And the LORD set a mark upon Cain .... -- Genesis 4:15
This is interpretation, and not used any more (as far as I know, but?) this is what was used to discriminate against blacks. Protestants and Mormons both used it in their teachings. The "mark" was changing his skin. Who knows if that is what it meant, but that is how it was used.

It was a Black Man that was the first Non_Jewish convert to Christ. Stephen was sent to him supernaturally. That would mean that he is important to God as is all of His creation. God's love is not for any one race. Whosoever believes will be saved... Jim

The bible is mostly about black people. You don't really believe that Jesus was white, do you?
