Because it’s a short post it seems like it’s connected to this post:
Understanding Poverty: Language

It’s not connected to the understanding poverty post at all.

The picture and the post it’s on are simply about the popularity of “grills” and asking why they are popular. The post is tagged with the term ‘poverty’ because it seems there are people in poverty (certainly not all people in poverty), who are eager to get a ‘grill’ when they need to be providing for their basic necessities.

does that make sense?

I'm a little confused with the photo you are speaking of, there doesn't appear to be a photo on this post of someone with a "grill" or any mention of acting ghetto<!-- X-spaminator-strike: whitelist, -3 --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: IP check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: email check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author url --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: comment body --> Sonia, I completely agree with everything you shared.
