News & Observer, Freudian Slip?

Sometimes typos are just funny and make you wonder if there is really something more at work.  The News & Observer’s “Under The Dome” section has one that just bears mentioning:

Economist Art Laffer told state lawmakers that the movement to overhaul the tax code in North Carolina is crucial to the national “fight for a different sort of economics. You are wearing the white hat,” he said. “Don’t let them take the white hate off you. Go to the goal line.”

Hmm. .  white hate???   On the heels of the MLK holiday that would seem a bit of a BAD typo.  Or maybe it was subliminal suggestion?
