Detecting the offensive language should be doable and you have at least two approaches:
- Either you have a collection of previously collected and labeled tweets (offensive/not offensive) and train a classifier
or- You query an API for you to do that (one of the first hits on google is that one: https://www.paralleldots.com/abusive-content)
As an idea how you can start building something like that, here is a recent research paper on exactly that topic:https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.04433
