Well-known Afro-American (???) women

One of these wimmin gained notoriety for presenting herself as a black woman despite being born to white parents. She calls herself Nkechi Amare Diallo, but on 12 November 1977 in Lincoln County MT to Ruthanne and Larry Dolezal, both of whom are of white European descent.

Rachel Dolezal, aka Rachel Moore, usesd her self-discovered blackishness to become a college instructor and President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) chapter in Spokane WA.

She was the subject of public scrutiny when her parents publicly stated that she was pretending to be black but was actually white. The statement by her parents followed Rachel Dolezal's reports to police and local news media that she had been the victim of race-related hate crimes. A police investigation did not support her allegations.

Ms Dolezal had also claimed on an application form to be mixed-race and had falsely claimed that an African-American man was her father and that her brother was her son. In the aftermath of the controversy, she was dismissed from her position as an instructor in "Africana studies" at Eastern Washington University and was removed from her post as chair of the Police Ombudsman Commission in Spokane over "a pattern of misconduct."

In 2015, Rachel Dolezal acknowledged that she was "born white to white parents" but maintained that she self-identified as black.

The other woman, the one on the far left (geddit?) is Kamala Devi Harris, born 20 October 1964 in Oakland CA. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan was a biologist who moved to the United States from Tamil Nadu, India, at the age of 19, in 1958. Ms Gopalan's parents are Indian. 

While she was studying in the US of A, she met Donald Jasper Harris, born in Brown's Town, Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica. He was the son of Oscar Joseph Harris, a black Jamaican [Afro-Jamaican? Ed.] and Beryl Christie Harris (née Finegan), who was an Irish-Jamaican... or something like that. (Her details seem have mysteriously disappeared from Google.)

Walt is not sure whether that makes Hock Ptui a quadroon or an octaroon (look them up), and Ms Harris emphasizes different parts of her ethnic heritage, depending on who she's talking to. The name "Devi" disappeared around the time she got involved with Brown Willie Brown. 

When she rode into the Vice-President's Office on Senile Joe's coattails she was hailed as the first Indo-African woman to hold such high office. Then, about three weeks ago, the "Indo" part disappeared ans now Americans are urged by the adoring lickspittle media to elect the first "Black female President".

Puzzling, isn't it.
