Imagine that if you did something wrong that you might be killed. That's how black lives had to live for most of their time alive. For many years black lives have be treated…

Six Flags Fiesta Texas I recently had the pleasure of going to Six Flags Fiesta Texas with my friend and his family. My experience was phenomenal. All of the rides at Six Flags had me on the edge and I felt different about each ride. I think I rode just about all of the rides there and discovered my three favorites over all.
