Readers of net.jokes should look at the referenced article in
net.origins (the poster misdirected it, unfortunately for the
amusement of netters who have sensibly unsubscribed to net.origins.)
It really is very funny, if a little sad because there remains
a suspicion that the poster might not think it was misdirected.

Here's just a teaser quote from it (the whole thing is very long):
****
          . . .  After the flood, however, there weren't enough
          people of any variety around for anyone to feel good
          about killing someone for being different and, since
          life in general had just become much more difficult,
          and the idea of owning slaves was just starting to
          occur to people, who better to make slaves out of than
          someone who had just been punished by the lord,
          obviously for some grandiose sin.  Thus did the black
          race, rather than originating in Africa as is commonly
          taught, escape to various parts of the world, only to
          survive in Africa and India and a few places in which
          they were better adapted than and were left unmolested
          by other groups.  Again, from the King James Gen 10-18
          'and afterwards were the families of the Canaanites
          spread abroad'.
              Arguments from the realm of radio-carbon dating
          purporting to show that Africa was inhabited tens of
          thousands or millions of years ago are simply invalid;
          they are based on the assumption that our present
          ratios of carbon types held good in all ages, an
          assumption that goes out the window with catastrophism.
