Must've been missing an entire testament.

I would really love to hear someone explain how a religion (supposedly) based on love and forgiveness can be used as a reason to hate black people. I've read that book, that chapter was missing from my copy.

but more specifically in regards to hate'n black people

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_Ham

The relevant narrative occurs in the Book of Genesis and concerns Noah's drunkenness and the accompanying shameful act perpetrated by his son Ham the father of Canaan (Gen. 9:20–27).[2] The controversies raised by this story regarding the nature of Ham's transgression, and the question of why Noah cursed Canaan when Ham had sinned, have been debated for over two thousand years.[3] The story's original objective was to justify the subjection of the Canaanites to the Israelites,[4] but in later centuries, the narrative was interpreted by some Jews,[5] Christians and Muslims as a curse of, and an explanation for, black skin, as well as slavery.

And that's a bunch of bullshit.

[Space Pirate Roberts]

Well yeah, it's from the bible.

[GohanX]

You're from the bible.

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

But it's not from the Bible. It is clearly stated that hundreds of years later people twisted what was written in it to justify their own evil.
So let's burn all our Beatles albums since they told Manson to do his thing.

I don't know, have you read Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT?

[GohanX]

Slavery was pretty common at the time, and it makes a point to treat them well. Still says nothing about hating black people.

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

NLT is a joke.
Have you read Ephesians 6:6?
It comes right after a verse that your evilbible page cites, yet didnt deem worth including.

I agree with your point, but there's plenty of similar stuff in the OT that needs no twisting. Xenophobia is a virtue throughout and it explicitly states some gnarly laws. Every religious text has its outmoded garbage, though.
