Can a black non-muslim man marry a muslim woman?
For the past few months I've been dating a muslim girl. I think I'm starting to fall in love with her and would love nothing more than to marry this girl. However, I am African American and she is from Jordan. She has told me that her family would most likely not approve, as they want her to have an arranged marriage. She said that she could probably get her mother to accept us (as women are more sensitive to matters of love than men are) but her father would be 100% against it.
Is this how it is for all muslim women? Do they all have to have an arranged marriage? And if not, would it be OK in the eyes of other muslims for us to marry?

I Agree with what you have said there. My parents Are Cool With Me Marrying Whoever I Want. Which is GREAT
