In a twist, we get an upset reader who thinks we are unfair to BLACKS.

I am very disturbed about the posting on Emily Haddock, I have visited this site a few times and enjoyed the content however I didnt know that this site had a racial agenda/bias. All crime is horrible no matter who commits it why the focus on black on white crime and how irresposable to insinuate that they molested her sexually with no proof whatsoever to back that up. Now if it happened it happened and it should be said but there is no evedence at least that you presented in the story to back that claim up, its an assumption and a dangerous one at that. I am suprised by this site and the readers who responded to the post in such a hateful way.
I am more then hessitant to visit your site again knowing that you really arent interested in crime reporting or blogging rather your interest seems to be in hate.

I am offended that you feel this site has a racial\hate agenda. I would love to see you point that out to me. We have done numerous stories mocking the "Missing White Girl" syndrome, we have made numerous mentions of the media turning a blind eye to missing black females, and we have done TWO articles on black on white crime that goes unreported in the media.
No, Lynn, we are extremely equal when it comes to race absurdities and the media, and I am more surprised that you came to this conclusion from one article before firing off your email. How about you read some of the other stories before you start pointing at us and basically calling us racist.
As far as the molestation , at no point does that article state she was molested, but
merely compares the hesitant coroner report and how this seems to be the norm when a victim was molested. How others want to respond to that is their business. If the people involved with this crime want that assumption squashed, then simply release the report. Until then, I and others can only go by other cases in which this same tactic was used.
Again, I would hate to lose a reader, as we are a small site, but I find it hard to ask someone to stay when they are the ones doing the assuming.
Here is some further reading for you:

Until minorities get just as much news coverage as white cheerleaders, we will not be stopping any time soon and will continue to mock.
Hope you stick around, and I hope I may have shed a different light on exactly why we post some of the stories we do.
