Neither am I. I don't necessarily agree with what the English Heritage have done, but I'm not going to rage about it.

It’s not rewriting history but it is looking at it out of context to the time things occurred
Perhaps in the future folk will look at our Prime minister and wonder why we elected a serial liar and clown shoe

The grey area for me is relevance of it. As far as I know, Blyton wasn't a racist, but used racist tropes which were quite normal then. I may be wrong and she had some kind of agenda, but I doubt it.
That isn't to say that a modern take on things shouldn't occur, but I don't think it should be in a brief description. She is remembered because of her books. Which engaged generations into reading... something that is quite absent today beyond Twitter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
She’s remembered due to both and it’s not a modern take, it was recognised during her lifetime too. I read her books in the early eighties and even then the racism in them was openly discussed, it was part of the analysis of them. I learned as much from her books about that as I did anything else. Still enjoyed reading them at the time (secret seven in particular) but it would be mad to not acknowledge it.

I'm pretty sure this period will not be remembered too fondly in 50 years time.
Imagine people looking back on Trump, Brexit, the booing of anti-racism gestures etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, etc, etc. For balance. 😉
Give it 50 years and you will probably be looked at as a monster because you ate meat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Probably. I think in the future food consumption will have developed to a point where the slaughter of animals isn't required. Then people will look back on the current food industry with horror (like we do on other historical practices).
GB news, Most popular thread today on ja606.
As I said, triggered to Fook by a wee badly man with a weetabix on his heid, setting up a channel and daring to differ, from MSM and wokery, lol.
Must be annoying for some, seeing black people, women, gay people, all having opinions different from you, or what you presume they should have.

You wonder why so many working class people now vote for the Tories when you get snide comments like these.
Keep it up,people like you are the biggest Tory campaigners going,the more you sneer at the working class the more that move away from the Labour movement.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's a good job then that the Tories have never once made snide comments about the working class.
10 points if you can guess who said the below:
"And that brings me to the last and greatest group of male culprits. Most of these single mothers have had the common sense to detect that the modern British male is useless.
“If he is blue collar, he is likely to be drunk, criminal, aimless, feckless and hopeless, and perhaps claiming to suffer from low self-esteem brought on by unemployment.
“If he is white collar, he is likely to be little better.”

In your discussions was it concluded she was a racist or was a product of the time?

Are they not the same thing? just because racism was accepted by more people in the past, still doesn't change that it was a racist thing to do/write etc

You might be right. You are more clued up on it and Blyton than I am. In your discussions was it concluded she was a racist or was a product of the time?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That period, they go hand in hand to a certain extent. She was criticised even during her lifetime for it though, that suggests she went further than just being the latter. There’s also that she embedded it in her writing and characters more than any comparable authors I can think of.
I’ve got three children and they’ve all ready Blyton books at some point in their childhood still though as, like I said for when I read them, if they’re approached the right way then they can have even more value.

Secret seven or famous five are less overt examples, I’d agree with that.
