GreyOrm was pointing out the fallacy of your post, by using an analogy (slavery). The fallacy is called coincidental correlation, by the way. You can learn more here: http://www.datanation.com/fallacies/posthoc.htm
That's a cute dig at the end, too. "... until now a very intelligent conversation." Nice one.
