    An Assembly candidate whose campaign sent mailers using the word “negrohood” to residents in his Sheepshead Bay district apologized Wednesday — calling the racially tinged language a “typo.”

    I'm not sure "typo" would be a good explanation. Sabotage perhaps. I have a habit of writing "black (block) party" or "on another black (block)" and "plam" for "palm" but "negro" for "neigh"? I'd go with sabotage, it's more plausible.
