Your mileage may vary - Gore Vidal had allegedly intended a homoerotic relationship between Ben-Hur and Messala

One of the major characters is done with blackface. Played straight rather than for laughs.

I could not find any sources for the claim that horses died during the filming of the 1959 version. The other commenter seems to have mixed it up with the 1925 version of Ben-Hur; the director of the older version was known for abusing and killing horses during production.
