They are. If you've been around enough black people in your life you will understand that there is a clear cut difference between monday (degrading insult directed towards black people) and brother (endearing complement usually given to a close friend / also used to address someone else)

They used monday more than Bro. Bro was what fancier white people would call blacks and what blacks would call other blacks. monday was a mostly southern insult used as a degrading statement directed towards black people. Black people hardly used the word after the 30s and 40s

espio monday is still used as an insult against black people to this day
i even saw a video of a woman calling a black man monday in public a few weeks ago

they are the same word but context and tone is the only thing that differentiates the use
they can be used interchangably
"gotdamn there are so many forgetin brothers on my plantation" (voiced by redneck white man in a demeaning tone)

We Canadians killed all our black people so now the closest thing we have are those slaves we imported right from Africa.

saying 'brother' in a southern white accent is like using 'maths' in american english instead of 'math'
it's really rare to hear anyone use brother as an insult, even when white people say 'brother' it's usually accepted in some parts, especially if they're close friends of yours. of course if you say 'i want to lynch some brothers' it's tribal but it's rare to hear that. 'i want to lynch some mondays' would be more common.
They can be used interchangeably but that's rare. Also, in terms of context, nobody would be caught dead saying 'monday' in an endearing way. 'whats good my mondays' or 'hey you're my monday' both sound extremely horrible and insulting, compared to 'whats good my brothers' or 'hey you're my brother'
