Bradley is saying that the riots, even though sparked by the rodney king incident, wasn't its main reason.
"They said it was for the black man, said it was for the mexicans, but not for the white man" - He is referring to the media, who reported as a race riot. But his say if you were actually there, you realised that it was much bigger than that. Rodney king was just the straw that broke the camerals back. It was about all races coming together after having enough with society.
"But if you look on the streets, it weren't about rodney king"
