The '70s were half a century ago, and that fact is especially apparent when you look back at the media of the time. Watch a movie or TV show from that decade or listen to a song, and you won't just notice outdated fashion, interiors, and slang, but you'll also come across plots, characters, and words that are offensive, especially by the standards of 2023. When it comes to music in particular, there are plenty of songs from the '70s that are offensive to listeners now.
1 "Brown Sugar" by The Rolling Stones (1971)

Try Jackal much later...”She Loves My (male chicken”.
Rhymes with Sock
Whole Lotta Rosie
And there’s Jefferson Airplane’s “We Can Be Together”, with the chorus that includes “Up against the wall, mo-fo’s” - or rather the full-blown equivalent thereof.
Before the 70’s, but the Kink’s “Lola” would give the lbqtusv crowd fits for ridiculing a trannie.
Squaws along the Yukon Hank Snow
There’s a salmon-colored girl that sets my heart awhirl
she lives along the Yukon far away.....
Another:
Jungle Boogie
“Young Blood” and “Honey Child” by Bad Company always creeped me out.
Havin’ my Baby by Paul Anka. How could that not make the lib’s heads explode?
Yikes! I hope she never finds out about David Allen Coe.
I love the Stones' misogyny rock.
This is a “I have no original thoughts so I’ll mail it in today” article.
First, he missed the easiest one - Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen (on two dimensions this is a baddie).
Second, there is a vast catalog of 70s Zappa songs that still offend people. To start, Bobby Brown. https://youtu.be/SXi_zoW-Wr4?si=RqkEc3CA2KwId0IJ
Third, for deep tracks, I discovered this blistering rocker by the Boston-based Nervous Eaters with lyrical content that is borderline ghastly. https://youtu.be/03eb4_wtOTI?si=7JoJA_jbd1HvMwI4
MC5 - Kick out the jams 1969

That song by Dire straits,”See the little faggot on his MTV...”
The 70s was nothing compared with some of the stuff that was around in the 20s.
It may be from 1969, but I love Steppenwolf’s version of The Pusher.
Pearl Necklace as well
Not from the ‘70’s but
Cowboy Rap
Jimmie Collins

This song isn’t from the seventies but 1965. I hear it often on oldies radio, but I am surprised it hasn’t been banned: Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders — “The Game of Love.”. It even says the game was started by Adam and Eve. Sounds like something Jerry Falwell would have written.
