I'm not sure I agree with the steps involved:
inferring that Jefferson would be upset that slavery has ended disparages everything he worked for
Well, I'd disagree. It disparages his views on slavery (fairly? can we judge by his actions?).

It's rather a leap to go from disapproving of Jefferson's use of female slaves for sexual relief to asserting that anyone defending the Constitution is racist. Not so much a stretch as a cosmic-scale rack. (And I'm still not sure where the Hitler Youth come in, especially as they were also racists).

I don't think I'll bother further, however... I'll leave it for specialists.
