morally, why are white people not allowed to be proud of any territorial expansion, conquest or empire building after 1500?

They had a right to be proud of it until they destroyed their empires in 1914. You can’t brag about your inheritance when you’ve squandered it.

Because historically that leads to oppression of marginalized peoples.

Love of "the light" is the love of God.

You are allowed to be proud of all the war and conquering and despoiling and rape. You just have to identify as the kind of person who war and invasion and brutality and exploitation and genocide is good, or at least negligible.
If you think it's a complicated moral question, then no you can't just say "I'm proud of this!" as if that represents a complete analysis.
As usual, the philosophical struggles are between people who have read the homework and fat kids. Cinch.

Bringing the non white into the kingdom of heaven to enjoy the benefit of the light was a moral good for which you dishonor God by not recognizing.
