One of the Good Ones

Used in a political sense. This phrase is used towards Black Americans when other ethnic groups (usually white conservatives) feel like a black individual is perceived as a "safe negro". One whose presence doesn't "threaten" others. One that others wouldn't see as militant, conscious, or a "thug". You can find this phrase used primarily towards black conservatives, black people are often known to talk down to Black Americans, or Black Americans who simply aren't overtly stereotypical in the negative sense.

This phrase can be seen as code speak by suspected white supremacists. A racial epithet disguised as a compliment to denigrate Black Americans

You're not like the others, you're one of the good ones.

A Few Good Men

When cooking microwave popcorn and it accidentally becomes burned, true popcorn enthusiasts will look for a few good men. These are the proud and few kernels that budded into golden, buttery, juicy pieces of popcorn. Among their scorched brethren, these few good men managed to survive the blistering nuclear heat of the microwave and morph into great eating material. Munchies have been known to aid in the finding of a few good men.

Person 1: Oh god, oh god! Burned... they're all burned man!
Person 2: Pull yourself together! There are a few good men in there, and, dammit, I'm going to find them!
