Rodney King was a black guy beaten up by racist white pigs. Someone videoed it but still the cops were acquitted. When he says "a legal lynch mob" it refers to the way they got away with it, perhaps even because of their status. "Martin" refers to Dr. Martin Luther King and I'm sure everyone knows about his "I have a dream" speech, in which he basically said he had a dream that one day there would be no racism. What I don't get though is how "Martin's dream has become Rodney's worst nightmare"?
