I don't really know if this question is directed towards me, but I'm gonna answer it anyway (I'm Black by the way). First of all, I'm not from the hood. I have plans of being a surgeon one day. Now if my future daughter brings home a guy that is from the "hood" I wouldn't discount him out. I would ask some questions about what he does after school/ what activities he enjoys/ who are his role models/ aspirations and so on and forth. Just because a guy comes from a poor background doesn't mean that he automatically be involved with thugs or affiliated with a local gang. If that was the case, then yes I would disapprove. However, if he was a decent young man caught in an unfortunate situation, then I would approve, and probably try to be a good role model for him to follow. Hopefully that makes sense.
He's from the hood? I've been to the hood so hell no. That's a different breed of people and it has nothing to do with their skin color. There are so ass end backward trailer parks full of white and brown people i wouldn't allow my kids to date either. Why? Well lets think drugs, illegal guns, and sexual assault are rampant in those areas for starters.
A black guy? Yes, absolutely. From the "hood"? Eh... depends.
Just because someone is black does not automatically mean they live in the hood. It depends what his extracurricular activities were.
If we're going to be super stereotypical... I think if this hypothetical black boyfriend found out his SO's mom was a cop... they might have reservations.
If he is a good guy, then yes, I'd allow my son/my daughter to date him. Ethnicity does not matter, but the guy's personality does

How old is this child? Old enough to make up their own mind?
If so, they date who they want and I don’t care, as long as they’re treated respectfully.
What do you mean would I let them?
Would I approve of it? As long as they aren't encouraging/engaging in harmful behavior, yes.
Let's just say that he would have to work incredibly hard to win my approval. Unfortunately personal experience has created a certain level of distrust.
They could date anyone they want i don't control them.
Just because he black or from the hood doesn't mean his a bad kid there good and bad people in poor middle and wealthy areas
They are free to date who they want and I am free to react as I see fit.
Yes, because of racial IQ differences
There are a lot of good people in the hood.
