Eddie Davis sends Soup back

Eddie Davis is not happy with an anonymous Raleigh blogger.

A recent post on The Raleigh Soup criticized the head of the N.C. Association of Educators for planning to announce his consideration of a run for state superintendent in a black newspaper.

Davis, the post noted, planned to announce in "the Triangle Tribune, an African-American weekly paper with circulation of maybe five," but the paper was scooped by this post on Under the Dome.

In an e-mail to The Soup, Davis wondered why it would be "out of the realm of possibility" for the Tribune to "work hard and break a story."

He also decried the "use of racial labels" and the "hair and skin doctoring" of an accompanying photo.

"If I decide to enter the race for State Superintendent, the early interjection of race and the hint of anti-unionism that RaleighSoup provided in August of 2007 will inspire me," he wrote.

The full text of his letter after the jump.
