They are related in that they are both mammals, but they are in different orders, the lemur is in Primates whereas the raccoon is in Carnivora, making them not closely related at all. Their similar appearance/coloration is not due to genetic similarities.
The Ring-tailed lemur is a primate species native to Madagascar and is known for its distinctive black and white ringed tail. They are social animals that live in groups called troops and are primarily herbivores, feeding on fruits, leaves, and flowers.
