That's just silly. If a parent were sitting in the bleachers watching their child run laps at the school track, would you call that child unsupervised? Are the little league outfielders unsupervised? The word literally means to watch someone.
Well... since you asked. I was there 3 years ago for my brother's wedding and observed a white family enter a grocery store with the head male of the group telling a black employee to "Get out of the way, boy." in the Foghorn Leghorniest voice I ever heard. The young man did get out of their way. And not a soul around said anything. Myself included (to my shame).
I saw more pro-nazi imagery (not even mentioning confederate flags which I more understand) in the average NC parking lot than any WW2 documentary.
I would rather live in New Jersey.

I‘m sorry that was your experience. I have lived in NC my whole life and have not experienced that type of behavior or seen pro-nazi imagery. It could be what part you were in. In no way could I have visited every city. I’m sure there are parts of other states that are not flattering either. I hate a whole state is judged on your one negative experience but that seems to be the theme anymore. If one person in a group, town in a state, apple in a bushel, etc... is bad then they all are.
