Because if you disagree with it you get your face bashed in?

  Do you really? Then you call the police. The fact that these topics can't be discussed without escalation to violence (or people assuming it will lead to violence) should be troubling to everyone. In the free market of ideas, you win or lose by the merits of your ideas. If you're just spouting racism and bigotry then you will lose, and everyone will ignore you. But even then, there's no need for violence.

  That's just plain violence and already illegal. You also have the right to defend yourself in those circumstances, and you don't need to have that kind of discussion all by yourself. I think some states go as far as letting you shoot your attacker, stand your ground laws and all. Cutting off communication between groups doesn't prevent violence. It creates echo chambers that allow them to drift further and further apart. At some point, the only way they can communicate is violence.
