Veteran newsman Roland Martin tells
Newsmax TV that race-faker Rachel Dolezal is "deranged" and in desperate need of a shrink.
"Logic does not apply to this woman and I am sick of these people defending her, explaining her.... She’s not black!" Martin, commentator for TV One and the host of News One Now, said Wednesday on "The Steve Malzberg Show."

"There are white people on the board of the NAACP who do some phenomenal things and you know what? They’ll tell you they’re white. So this woman is deranged .... She needs professional help. That’s what she needs."
Dolezal resigned her position at the NAACP's Spokane chapter on Monday following revelations that, although she has been claiming to be biracial for years, even appearing in photographs with a black man she claims to be her father, she actually is white.
On Wednesday, TMZ.com reported that Dolezal has been a "loyal" customer of a Spokane tanning salon.
But Roland said nobody can be something they're not, not matter what they claim.
"I could convert to the Jewish faith, but I can’t call myself a Jewish person and that’s what’s crazy," he said.
