I have talked to many Black women who have pointed out the exact things you mentioned about why they feel a bond with Hillary Clinton. In particular, older successful Black women who have been through the struggle of playing the fine line between not wanting to be the "angry Black woman" but also needing to exert confidence and strength. This is something that many millenials who haven't been through the wringer yet don't quite get and its why Hillary's support with older Black women is astronomical. Its not a stretch at all.
