Who lost power in AD 750?
Umayyads
Why did the Umayyads take control of the Islamic Empire?
The Umayyads were an aristocratic Meccan family who had been appointed to b the governors of Damascus. The assassination of their cousin, Caliph Othman, provided the perfect excuse for this family to make a gambit for more political power. They were successful in this. The Umayyads were also generally unconcerned about Islam and were not bothered by the fact that they were opposing a government composed of Muhammad's Apostles.
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.)
What Muslim group accepts only the descendants of the Umayyads as rightful rulers of Muslims?
There is no such group. The Umayyads were supported by the Sunnis because they had temporal power, but the Sunnis never had a requirement that the ruler need be a descendant of the Umayyads; their precondition for having the right to rule was having the power to effectively govern.Perhaps this question confuses the Shiite requirement that a rightful ruler be a descendant of Ali ibn AbuTalib. Ali and the Umayyads were enemies and are in-no-way related.
