The point is -- as with everything about GRRM's world -- the situation's not simple black and white (no pun intended) it's shades of grey. Dany sets the slaves free because she knows what it's like to be sold (by her brother!) and she's very aware that, had Drogo been a different man, her life could have been much, much worse, but she sets them free without providing them with food or shelter or with any means of earning a living, and the entire society destabilises (and it's the former slaves who suffer most)...

GRRM isn't saying 'look at this wonderful white saviour', he's saying 'look how this apparent white saviour's humane act goes horribly wrong because she doesn't think of the practicalities'.
