PLS HELP DATING ADVICE

So there is a boy that i like in my school and i'm pretty sure he likes me..except the only thing is he is black and i'm white and everytime i bring it up to my mom she shoots me down or yells at me for bringing it up, we both go to a private christian school and i'm not saying we're goodie goodys bc we are not but he is an amazing guy and a person who loves god as much as i do and i just want to bring it up to my mom without her shooting me down because of his skin color!! Please any tips on what i should say??
