Ozzy... doesn't respect you. Any guy that will ask you to flash him doesn't respect you. I suppose there is the rare circumstance where they're just kidding, but I get the feeling that this isn't it.
You cannot date Ozzy. I mean, you can, but it would be bad for both of you. I think you need to tell him that you wouldn't date him if he were the last man on earth and distance yourself from him. Tell him you'd be glad to be friends though. But keep him at an arm's length; boys like that can be dangerous.
As for your mom... well, that sucks. But once you get out in the real world she won't be able to influence who you date. Still, Ozzy is not good for you, no matter what color his skin is. There are a lot of great black and Hispanic guys out there, but Ozzy is clearly not one of them, or at least not a dateable one.
Keep looking, and keep Ozzy at a distance. Still, boys like that can be great friends, as long as you keep them far away enough that they can't pull anything funn. So tell him that you only wanrt to be friends and don't let him get too close, physically or emotionally. You'll be fine. And good luck!
