I remember an old story about the People who could fly. How come I can't fly anymore? Who cut my wings?

Those old stories said that people could fly was not because of wings but because of the magic that they used....... And it was the drawing that was done by the Catholic Church and the people that worship in the Catholic Church that gave the angels wings.... And those drawing have worked their way in to the mainstream of the worlds thinking... where as in truth the angels never had wings none whatsoever.. And if you have ever read a bible and you were taught correctly you should have read that the angels just appear before you and not fly there............ And yes angels are supernatural being and not paranormal beings for those are totally two different realms that we have to deal with..............................................................................................

I recall one of black bigot race baiters saying on national TV that black people use to have wings and could fly, but whites cut their wings off and made them slaves. Wish I could recall who said that, but sounds like something Sharpton or Jackson would spew out.

I believe that all humans have unseen wings metaphorically speaking. the culture you live in cut your wings and the worst part is you let them with out even knowing that they did until it was to late.

I've heard that story... it's fictional though, I think... according to the story, nobody remembers the special words to say to enable you to fly.

If you manage to have a career in the music business you'll get your wings back.

I do not recall any mythology about African flight. Here is a blog that may have an answer:

And this wiki deals with African mythology:

Black people did have wings. After flying to the clouds, they soon discovered that there was no fried chicken, watermelons or malt liquor there. So they came back to earth and cut off their own wings. The End.
