About which part? The US has done some pretty terrible things (slavery, interment camps, destabilizing the middle east and south america). So you disagree that we're allowed to talk about it? Is there a government agency censoring HN comments?

The things you listed wouldn't even top my list of horrible things the US have done. You can talk about them all you want. But if you have half a brain you should be able to them in context of time and scale and take a look at what else was going on in the world at the same time and how many people were actually effected. Saying that todays US is somehow comparable to todays China because of slavery doesn't make any sense whatsoever
