What else can I help you with?
Were people unhappy with the Umayyad's rule because the Umayyads favored Shiites?
No. Under the Sunni Umayyads, Shiites were quite strongly discriminated against. After Yazid I martyred Hussein, the Shiites made it their mission in life to oppose every action of the Umayyad dynasty. It did not help matters that the Umayyads tortured and murdered Shiite Imams and Infallibles, leading to irreconcilability between the Shiites and the Umayyads.The anger happened specifically because Umayyads targeted Shiites and Mawali Sunnis (Sunnis who were not Arabs) for violence. They also had issues with control over the vast distances of their empire as well as noble Arab families that resented the Umayyads' rise and wanted power. (One of these rival families was the Abbassids, who would eventually take power from the Umayyads in a coup d'etat.)
Why did the shi'a oppose the rule of the umayyads?

What do the shiites believe about umaayads?
Answer A (shia view)shia believes "the cursed tree" in the Quran is Umayyads family tree.shia curses Umayyads and reject them. Yazid, who killed shia Imam Imam Hussain S.A was from Umayyads. and also other Shia Imams were killed by Umayyads. shia believes Abusufyan (founder of Umayyad governments) was who made biggest harm to Islam and in the name of Islam destroyed Islam in fact and made a fake version of Islam that continues today. shia consider Umayyads enemies of Islam but in the name of Islam. according to shia at Badr war many of relatives of Abu sufyan (Umayyads) were killed by prophet and Ali S.A. and this made a great envy of prophet and Ahl ul Bayt in heart of Umayyads and they killed and destroyed real Muslims and real Islam as much as they could in response.
Why did some Muslims protest against Umayyad rule?
The Umayyads made the Mawali and the Shiites disaffected for the following reasons:1) Mawali: Mawali (or non-Arab Muslims) were traditionally excluded from political and social affairs. The Umayyad in particular treated them as second-class Muslims. The evidence of this treatment was that Mawali were not allowed to have many government positions and that they were taxed whereas Arab Muslims were not taxed at all. Mawali made up an important component of the Umayyad Caliphate, especially Persians. Persia was always a high seat of culture in the Islamic Empire. As a result, ideas moved quite freely throughout Persia and Persians considered themselves to be of equal worth to Arabs.2) Shiites: Under the Sunni Umayyads, Shiites were also discriminated against. After Yazid I martyred Hussein, the Shiites made it their mission in life to oppose every action of the Umayyad dynasty. It did not help matters that the Umayyads tortured and murdered Shiite Imams and Infallibles, leading to irreconcilability between the Shiites and the Umayyads.

There were several other families that were just as power-Hungary and the Umayyads spent much of their time thwarting coups d'état. Abu Al-Abbas As-Saffah of the Abbassids rose against the Umayyads and murdered the reigning Umayyad Caliph. He ordered the rest of his family to murder every single other Umayyad. As a result of the uprising, only one Umayyad, Amir Abd El-Rahman, survived. He would later flee to Spain and set it up as a Caliphate in opposition to the Abbassids.
