So... Wear rubber trump masks?

Not the best idea for obvious reasons, but basically doing blackface with some reaally black paints (vantablack kind of black) should be very effective against facial recognition. Even with the nowhere near as dark skin tones of naturally dark skinned people the systems have trouble accurately identifying them.

Sounds like the system is a lot like the racists near me. "All those black people look the same to me"

It is exactly like that yep. Most gen AI stuff is trained on white people, but its also just due to lighting reaons where the camera picks up less detail on darker things.
