A much quoted comment and yet I don’t get it the only meaning for the word Buffalo that I know is of an animal.
Buffalo = The city
buffalo = the animal, or the verb meaning “to bully”
The sentence is therefore roughly equivalent to “Buffalo animals that Buffalo animals bully, bully Buffalo animals.”
