Help! This is damaging our family.

How should I deal with my husband and I disagreeing on interracial dating? Our daughter is 15 and dating only consists of seeing each other at school and movies once in a while. However we recently moved and she has became friends with an African American boy across the street from us. They talk everyday and have taken to liking each other. He has asked her to be his girlfriend.I have no issue with this except for the negative comments she may face from my in laws. My husband however is very against interracial dating and has warned her that it will never happen. He has threatened to disown her and says he would throw her out of our home. I would never allow that. I agree that children should follow household rules but I feel like he is being ridiculous with this and Im finding it hard to back him when I don't feel the same way on this issue. I will not teach that sort of hate to my kids. He tells me that if I don't like it I can go too and that n othing will change his mind. He is damaging his wonderful relationship with his daughter and our marriage. I am prepared to support my daughter and leave if it comes to that.I wish he would realize they are teenagers that don't see color. I just don't know what to do and I need to make the right choice. I know boyfriends come and go with teenagers,this is my marriage of 16 years. But I just can't back him when I feel he is wrong in this situation.
