Raggae is usually associated with 'black culture', so when I first heard this on the radio I thought it could be about the difficulty that some caucasion people face with trying to accept interracial marriage, and that might be the particular problem that the young male speaker is facing.
For a band who labels themselves as pop rock, the raggae sound is sure an interesting choice! Awesome music and lyrics though!
Anyone who got offended, I just want to let you know that using the word 'black' is not racist, and nor is using the word 'white', or speaking of racial differences in appearance and culture.
@iheartthiswebsite Ive found this an interesting comment because it does sound like it, seems like its a struggle for a lot of women to get thier father's blessing especially if they are protective. Nigger is a more offensive word because its suppose to be an insult while just calling them black its just referring to their dark skin colour, but yes, i do see why white men struggle to accept a black man into their family because of sterotypes and the past.

According to ToddInTheShadows, in the UK, white Reggae is called "Cod Reggae."
