Apparently it does, at least in Leominster, Massachusetts.
A Massachusetts mayor on Thursday fired a police officer accused using a racial slur to taunt Boston Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford, saying the officer had "brought discredit" on himself and the department.
"You have demonstrated through your racist comments that you cannot continue as a patrol officer," Leominster Mayor Dean Mazzarella wrote in his termination notice to officer John Perrault.

What horrible thing did he say, you wonder? Tarbaby? Darkie? Piccaninny?
No, he said "Monday".
Perrault had been on paid leave since he called Crawford a "Monday" before a July 5 minor league game in Manchester, N.H.
The word can be used as a derogatory term for blacks, and is often associated with Mondays being one of the most-hated days of the week, such as in the common phrase, "I hate Mondays."

And do tell, who doesn't hate Mondays? I hate Mondays. They're the day farthest from Sunday, the Lord's Day!
DOWN WITH MONDAYS! 

What regular word do you think the Negroes will demand we stop using next?
